This bill proposes an appropriation of $1,387,256 from the state general fund to the Department of Public Instruction for tribal school infrastructure grants for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The funding is intended to support infrastructure projects at tribal elementary and secondary schools, which can apply for these grants.
To qualify for the grant, schools must provide matching funds of $346,814 for their proposed projects. This requirement ensures that the schools have a vested interest in the infrastructure improvements and promotes collaboration between the state and tribal educational institutions.
