The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to conduct a comprehensive study on reading and mathematics proficiency rates among students with disabilities. It emphasizes the need to evaluate the effectiveness of current educational policies, programs, and resource allocations in addressing disparities faced by this demographic. The study aims to analyze academic performance data, identify systemic barriers contributing to low proficiency rates, and assess existing policies and programs to determine their impact and effectiveness.

Additionally, the resolution calls for stakeholder engagement, including input from parents, educators, and advocacy groups, to ensure a collaborative approach in decision-making. It seeks to explore best practices from other states that have successfully reduced proficiency disparities and to develop actionable policy and funding recommendations. The findings and recommendations from this study, along with any necessary legislation, are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
