Description
The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) administers the Consolidated Application for federal Title I Part A, Title II Part A, Title III Part A, and Title IV Part A funds. School districts submit one comprehensive application each year, connecting federal funding to their strategic plans and identified student needs. The program emphasizes “funding the plan” rather than planning around available funds.
Supported work includes supplemental instruction in higher-poverty schools, educator professional learning and effectiveness, English language development, well-rounded education, safe and healthy learning environments, and effective technology use. Districts must connect proposed activities to data, evidence of effectiveness, and North Dakota’s PK–12 Education Strategic Vision. Application narratives guide budget approval, allowable expenditures, contract amendments, and subsequent federal Title program monitoring.
