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 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 amounting to $346,814 for their respective projects. This initiative aims to enhance the infrastructure of tribal schools, thereby improving educational facilities for Native American students in North Dakota.
