Representative Cynthia Schreiberbeck introduced the bill and told the committee it removes two code sections because the authority to issue special education endorsements was transferred to the Education Standards and Practices Board. \"Basically, this bill is a cleanup of code. Please give House Bill 1261 a due pass,\" she said.

Mary McCarville O'Connor, director of the Office of Specially Designed Services at the Department of Public Instruction, testified that prior to July 1, 2008, DPI issued special education credentials but a transfer of authority moved endorsements to the Education Standards and Practices Board. \"Currently, the endorsements, these special ed endorsements are in administrative rule on the Education Standards and Practices Board,\" O'Connor said.

Committee members asked about the timing of the transfer and whether the credentials are now handled in administrative rule; O'Connor provided the historical reference and confirmed the endorsements are governed by that board's rules. No opposition testimony was recorded.

A motion for a due pass was made by Senator Moshe and seconded by Senator Lim. The committee voted 5 yeas, 0 nays, 1 not voting. Senator Bauschay agreed to carry the bill.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Education Tuesday, Feb 18, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:06 AM","oneSentenceSummary","House Bill 1261 was recommended for a due pass to repeal two Century Code sections on special education strategist credentials after the authority to issue those endorsements moved to the Education Standards and Practices Board.","taxTitle","Education, Senate, Legislative, North Dakota","taxId",28902,"location","North Dakota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6325110,"Committee advances bill letting CTE centers allocate member fees by use and access",1233,3582000,4815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2334706-855f6983fb110331394edb6e008d1741&start=3582&end=4815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2334706-855f6983fb110331394edb6e008d1741/thumbnail_3582000.jpg","/articles/6325110/North-Dakota/Committee-advances-bill-letting-CTE-centers-allocate-member-fees-by-use-and-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6325110-03d696855724a9d842992ddcc3b123ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160944&Signature=JP22z44RSQ~eYArGJ34KE-Q~G2SJpIgGxM9BljVCz9wPpflitbbsV8pZ2too8j-ft0IZRahZa1GMyhEt3dnQx6MT6NQLNq3RdVfBkODj0EzRneaE20I8kL2OYs70NNJTUJrl4WHCks4JouJFhBuyJQenawX60SlUuy8Vpy~o8kvhjcyeFkm0-4BCmb318jExuGuenZpHy~w6lDfjjgTa8QghvQB9HGy8SPPN85xk2SUHVwGl58WVUOFfcA7viP3GouBX42Vq1Uv-G2IUMEs852aj-2smTzM88~UKlDOlj04mY7uqfF0HLZEL6vWSvOC2Mtu0DxBpYp9KfE5n42sEVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Education Committee voted to give House Bill 1188 a due-pass recommendation after hearing testimony that the measure would let area career and technical education (CTE) centers use flexible methods to allocate operating costs among member schools.

Representative Mike Lefor, District 37, introduced the bill and said recent investment and expansion of CTE centers created situations where the current enrollment-based fee structure is unfair to small, distant districts. \"Under current law, these academies are required to assess their operational costs based on school membership and not on utilization or ability to access these programs,\" Lefor said.

Wade Sick, state director for the Department of Career and Technical Education, testified the bill was drafted by CTE center directors statewide and would keep a base membership fee tied to high-school enrollment while allowing boards to assess additional costs based on usage or access. \"This would be especially advantageous as new centers continue to expand and allow member schools an on ramp as they take advantage of the great CTE centers have to offer,\" Sick said.

Aaron Anderson, director of the Southwest Area Career and Technical Education Academy in Dickinson, gave examples of how the present approach can price rural districts out of participation. Anderson said Beach High School, about 62 miles from the academy, currently has two students attending daily and uses mobile labs, but under the present statutory formula Beach would be assessed more than $82,157 to be a member. He said his center instead expects to charge a modest base membership fee—\"about a 25 to $3,500 assessment\"—plus an estimated $700–$800 per credit for class participation.

Committee members asked whether larger districts that would pay a bigger share had plans to absorb higher costs; witnesses said those districts had been engaged in planning and expressed willingness to support smaller partner schools. The committee heard no opposition testimony.

A motion for a due pass was made and seconded; the committee voted 5 yeas, 0 nays, 1 not voting. Senator Lem agreed to carry the bill.","House Bill 1188 received a due-pass recommendation to allow area career and technical education centers to assess member school fees based on utilization, access or geography in addition to enrollment-based membership fees.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6325114,"Senate Education Committee clears bill to fix wording on county superintendent records",287,0,287000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2334706-855f6983fb110331394edb6e008d1741&start=0&end=287","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2334706-855f6983fb110331394edb6e008d1741/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6325114/North-Dakota/Senate-Education-Committee-clears-bill-to-fix-wording-on-county-superintendent-records","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6325114-b0175c028b5c46bfe86b80074717e9c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160944&Signature=TntEU9O9OhFUeWcyNh0WyHOk4fGGKbqZx9oyFfUSELprf6Bq6MuMiDLJg2QcF21coSGZ1R9ExzqYYzWPYSXRHMnbpdCGetcYlrnqqa7aczeZLgnO1oe3DXQTZF5Un6nlUvrPLjTi2tWXac09ADkrOmmTdDN6qleA67GK3SIHyQARkwA4UKG0JTfCOdFMQnur2pXRp~QZAW1oOYOo5CQ4yJU5BaC5mhj1hJBs~v-SvFJ72NrEKng8MxCdlOyl0jR418xXdj8bHpB8xBFzVxSNi4W7PvteE2fjNzN2mktKtCyNqEUzqHaMNcgYYQanWjYnw8nABb2AnPg8T1p43voZ-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Education Committee voted to give House Bill 1133 a due-pass recommendation after hearing that the bill only makes wording corrections to existing law governing county superintendents of schools.

Representative Don Longbure, who introduced the bill at the request of the Department of Public Instruction, told the committee the measure addresses antiquated language in the North Dakota Century Code that affects county superintendent offices. \"The heading of that section uses the word records, but the text of that section uses the word property to describe those records,\" he said.

Jim Uppgren, legislative liaison with the Department of Public Instruction, testified in support and urged the committee to recommend a due pass. \"House Bill 1133 basically just cleans up that language, to use the word records and not the word property,\" Uppgren said, adding he could answer technical questions from the committee.

Committee discussion was minimal. A motion for a due pass was made by Senator Bauchay and seconded by Senator Axman. The committee voted 5 yeas, 0 nays, 1 not voting, and the chair asked for a carrier to advance the bill. Senator Gearhart agreed to carry the bill.

The amendment does not change duties, qualifications or procedures for county superintendents; testimony indicated the change is intended only to correct inconsistent wording between a section heading and the section text.

The committee closed the hearing with no testimony in opposition and no requested amendments, and moved the bill forward to the next step in the legislative process.","The Senate Education Committee gave a due-pass recommendation to House Bill 1133, which updates Century Code language to refer to \"records\" rather than \"property\" in the provisions governing county superintendents of schools.","actionData","errors"]
