HB 1288 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to review of public school compliance with state law.

HB 1288 would create a process for anyone to request a review of whether a North Dakota public school district follows state education laws. It requires school districts to post a standard form online for submitting such requests, which the state Attorney General would then review and determine compliance. If a district is found noncompliant, the Attorney General would notify them and provide steps to fix the issue, with findings serving as evidence in related legal cases. The bill directly affects public school districts and individuals concerned about school adherence to state education statutes.
