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 importance of equitable funding and effective educational policies to address disparities faced by this demographic, which constitutes approximately 16 percent of the state's student population. The study aims to analyze academic performance data, identify systemic barriers affecting proficiency rates, and evaluate the effectiveness of current special education programs and policies.

Additionally, the resolution calls for stakeholder engagement, including input from parents, educators, and advocacy groups, to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and needs of students with disabilities. 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 are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly, with the goal of enhancing educational outcomes and ensuring transparency in resource allocation for students requiring special education services.
