Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Early K–3 dyscalculia checks and notice
For kindergarten through grade 3, schools must screen for early math problems and signs of dyscalculia. Schools must tell parents the process and results, give home‑learning resources, and create an education plan with accommodations when signs are found. A parent, guardian, or teacher can request the screening at any time, and the school must provide it.
Stronger math curriculum and student supports
Schools must use research‑based math lessons aligned to state standards. Lessons must cover numbers and operations, algebraic reasoning, geometry and measurement, and data, probability, and statistics, and build problem solving, connections, and reasoning. Schools must give regular short math checks, adjust teaching, and give targeted help with board‑adopted, high‑quality materials. To keep state approval, schools must place qualified math teachers in grades 4–8 and use integrated tools to find and fix skill gaps.
New math skills and training for teachers
Beginning July 1, 2027, math and elementary teacher license applicants must show skills in direct, explicit math teaching. You can meet this by finishing approved training or by proving mastery of the listed topics. The licensing board may give a provisional license for up to two years if you are still completing this work. Districts must also provide ongoing math training to teachers and school leaders on proven instruction and using data.
Grades 4–8 math screening pilot
Starting in the 2025–26 school year through 2026–27, the state runs a grades 4–8 math screening pilot. It provides a skill‑level screener and aligned formative assessments based on the 2023 North Dakota math standards, plus progress reports. The department collects results and reports initial findings to the 70th Legislature and final findings to the 71st. Up to $300,000 from the appropriation pays for the pilot and teacher training.
State funding and oversight for math
For July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, the state gives $1.5 million to improve K–8 math. Up to $200,000 can fund state staffing and administration. Up to $300,000 is set aside for the grades 4–8 screening pilot. The education department and regional education associations must train and assist districts, adopt rules, report progress to lawmakers, and post district reports online.
