ND Senate Advances Private School Voucher Bill

(Bismarck, ND) — The North Dakota Senate is advancing a private school voucher bill. The bill would offset the cost of tuition for some families sending their children to private schools. The legislation would set aside ten-million dollars from the state’s general fund for an education reimbursement program. The bill includes multiple amendments, including a requirement that money allocated through the program go only toward tuition, along with a means test for families applying to the program.
