• Court orders SchoolCare to pay Dover's health claims (vnews.com) — Dover school employees’ health coverage is protected for now after a Strafford Superior Court judge ordered SchoolCare to keep paying their medical claims despite a dispute over a $1.7 million special assessment. The ruling, which runs through the district’s contract ending June 30, found Dover is likely to win its case and that staff could face irreparable harm without coverage.
