North Dakota Supreme Court
Christianson v. Grand Forks Public School District
February 19, 20262026 ND 47
Summary
The Court affirmed summary judgment for the School District, holding that the District waived its contractual right to require arbitration by failing to timely issue the written grievance decision required by the negotiated grievance procedure. It also held that Christianson's separate director contracts were extracurricular because they imposed separate duties and compensation and were not incorporated into or dependent on his teaching contract. No separate opinions were filed.
