Status (as provided): Second reading — failed to pass (yeas 5, nays 42)

Note on source materials: The packet supplied includes multiple, unrelated legislative texts (an Illinois child‑care tax credit draft and Mississippi oyster‑lease amendments). This summary focuses on the primary appropriation text titled “A bill for an Act to provide an appropriation for mastery framework training grants” (North Dakota Senate Bill No. 2263), introduced to fund mastery framework training through the Department of Public Instruction.

Purpose and intent

Provide one‑time state funding to train K–12 school district teams to design and implement mastery‑based learning frameworks and model systems that can be shared statewide and replicated locally.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $500,000 (one‑time) from the state general fund to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for the 2025–2027 biennium (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027).
  • Grant purpose: Fund school district teams to be trained to develop and apply policies and systems needed to implement mastery learning frameworks; resulting model systems must be shared statewide.
  • Grant size and use:
    • Up to $25,000 per school district team.
    • Funds may be used for stipends covering up to ten working days beyond a participant’s contract with the district (stipends not available to employees on 12‑month contracts).
    • Funds may not be used for travel expenses.
  • Team composition: Each team must include at least one administrator and, where available, one instructional coach.
  • Priority: Given to teams preparing for or recently completing leadership or other training programs approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
  • Application limits: Districts may submit multiple applications, but no single district may receive more than $75,000 in total awards under this appropriation.
  • Funding characterization: Explicitly described as one‑time funding.

Who is affected

  • Department of Public Instruction — administers grants and disseminates model systems.
  • School districts and district teams (administrators, instructional coaches, participating staff) — eligible to apply and receive stipends for training days.
  • State budget — a $500,000 draw on the general fund for the specified biennium.

Fiscal and timeline implications

  • Fiscal impact: up to $500,000 in one‑time general fund expenditures for FY2026–FY2027 period (biennium).
  • Project timeline: Grants awarded and training expected to occur during the 2025–2027 biennium; models to be shared across the state for local replication.
