North Dakota

The North Dakota P-12 education funding framework, updated from 2013–2014, aims to provide equitable financial support across districts, factoring local property valuation and various student needs, such as special education and English proficiency. During the 2023–2024 school year, base per-student spending reached $14,041, including the targeted multipliers for sparse, small districts, and economically disadvantaged students. Virtual learning options, provided through legislative initiatives like House Bill 1376, grant either parent-paid or district-funded methods of educational financial assistance. Additionally, the North Dakota Common School Trust Fund allowed for substantial K-12 financial support, primarily oil-funded. Additional resources focus on career and technical education, transportation, and Native American educational needs, while supplemented via post-pandemic recovery investments regarding leadership and instructional materials.
