VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Valley City School board has moved away from the idea of building a new school due to the high cost of construction.

Superintendent Josh Johnson said the focus shifted to repairing their existing facilities. He said one way to finance the proposed idea is to increase their building fund levy.

The Valley City Public School District’s public hearing centering on the building fund levy will be held September 21st at 7pm in the school district’s administrative building’s board meeting room.
