This bill proposes an appropriation of $1,387,256 from the general fund of the state treasury to the Department of Public Instruction for tribal school infrastructure grants for the biennium starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027. Tribal elementary and secondary schools will be eligible to apply for these grants to support infrastructure projects.
To qualify for the grant, applicants must provide matching funds amounting to $346,814 for their proposed projects. This financial support aims to enhance the infrastructure of tribal schools, thereby improving educational facilities for Native American students in North Dakota.
