VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The competitive imbalance in some high school sports is leading most schools across the state to support a three class system.

Valley City Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson supports moving to a three class system.

He said Valley City public schools will soon meet the Class B enrollment threshhold, but he believes Valley City shouldn’t be competing against smaller schools, that’s why he supports a three class system.

Johnson said the competitive imbalance is also leading to declining participation in some activities in Valley City Public schools. He told the school board that the N.D. High School Activities Association will discuss a three class system if more than 60 percent of the school districts in the state support the idea.

Johnson made these comments about a three class system during a regular school board meeting on February 16th.
