Tardy federal school funding has North Dakota schools working on alternatives
North Dakota schools are preparing for a new academic year with nearly $19 million in federal education funds still locked in limbo. While $6.5 million has been released for after-school programs, districts remain unsure how to budget for key initiatives like teacher training and student support.

Administrators warn that if uncertainty drags on, vital programs—like Bismarck’s AVID initiative—could be scaled back or disappear altogether. Michael Achterling with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
