Funding

How North Dakota funds schools

North Dakota funds districts through an integrated per-student formula (NDCC ch. 15.1-27): a legislatively set base per-student payment — about $11,293 per pupil for 2025–26 after a 2% increase — is multiplied by weighted student units for district size and program need, then the district’s local share (60 mills plus most in-lieu revenue) is deducted and the state pays the remainder. Statewide taxes now cover roughly three-quarters of K-12 costs.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Belcourt 7 School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
