This bill proposes an appropriation of $1,500,000 from the state general fund to the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction for the implementation of a Native American history curriculum over the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The funding is allocated for various purposes, including $600,000 for curriculum development in collaboration with tribal representatives and educators, $300,000 for teacher training programs, $500,000 for educational materials and resources, and $100,000 for administrative oversight. Additionally, the bill mandates the establishment of a Native American curriculum advisory committee to guide the curriculum's development and ensure it addresses the educational needs of Native American youth.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes the importance of providing ongoing support for teachers, including access to professional learning communities and training opportunities, while ensuring equitable access to resources for all schools, particularly those that are rural or underfunded. The superintendent of public instruction is also required to report to the legislative management by August 31, 2026, on the progress of the curriculum's development and implementation, as well as feedback from schools and tribal representatives regarding the effectiveness of the support mechanisms.
