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 to ensure compliance and successful implementation.

Additionally, the bill mandates the establishment of a Native American curriculum advisory committee, which will include tribal leaders, cultural experts, and educators to guide the curriculum's development. The committee's focus will be on enhancing education for Native American youth and addressing social issues such as addiction and poverty. The superintendent of public instruction is also tasked with providing ongoing support for teachers and ensuring equitable access to resources, particularly for rural and underfunded schools. A report on the progress of the curriculum's development and implementation is required to be submitted to the legislative management by August 31, 2026.
