CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Dean Koppelman told the school board he plans to retire at the end of the 2015-2016 school year, pending board approval.

Koppelman’s three year contract expires at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. He asked the board to consider granting him a separate one year contract for the following school year.

School board president Joyce Braunagel says the board appreciates the dedication and hard work Koppelman has done during his 17 years with the school district. She says the board will discuss the details of a new one year contract during board meetings in December.
