A focus group, made up of representatives from each region, presented the proposed plan to the board after a survey period last winter, and submission of approval letters throughout October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The board and committee will now work through financial and staff considerations. This is the biggest step toward a three-class system since the adoption of two classes decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valley City Public Schools Superintendent, Josh Johsnson commented that, &#8220;For the past six months, the focus group has followed a strict procedure of the NDHSAA.\u00a0 This procedure (see attached) requires the administration at NDHSAA to complete a finance and staffing study prior to the plan being approved or denied by the board. The association now has until February 8<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0to complete this study and bring back information to the board. I believe the board will be prepared to make a decision on the three-class plan at the meeting on February 8th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite what you may read online or hear on the radio\/television, the three-class basketball proposal is moving forward in North Dakota. As a NDHSAA Board Member, I believe it is important that the board follows its own procedure and completes the required finance and staffing study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Valley City, we know the best place for our Hi-Liner student-athletes competing in high school basketball is NOT against Fargo Davies or Barnes County North but against schools and teams of similar size (Central Cass, Devils Lake, etc\u2026).&nbsp; If you have any questions or comments regarding the three-class basketball proposal, please contact me.&nbsp; Thank you for your continued interest with this important topic in North Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been 59 years since three-class ended in North Dakota (1963-Class C).&nbsp; Rome wasn\u2019t built overnight, neither will the three-class basketball plan. The future is bright for basketball in Valley City, Barnes County North, Maple Valley, and the other member schools in North Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely, Josh Johnson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NDHSAA Board Member and Superintendent of the Valley City Public School District.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bismarck (KFYR) &#8211; The North Dakota High School Activities Association Thursday unanimously accepted to move forward with the three-class proposal for boys and girls basketball.
