Summary
A district presenter told the board that students earned 2,071 dual credits this year and recommended approving a $58,642.61 payment to TMC; the board voted unanimously to approve the payment after a brief presentation of program impacts.
The school district unanimously approved a $58,642.61 payment to Turtle Mountain College (TMC) to cover dual-credit tuition for students, following a brief presentation on the program's recent growth.
A presenter described the dual-credit opportunities as "going above and beyond what Bank of North Dakota covers," saying the bank covers a large portion of tuition but the district pays the remainder. The presenter told the board that two years ago 35 students earned 139 dual credits at TMC; last year students earned 1,754; and this year students earned 2,071 dual credits. The presenter added that two students are on track to graduate with associate degrees this year.
The chair called for a motion to approve payment of $58,642.61; the record shows a motion recorded as moved by Terry and seconded by Eric. The clerk announced the vote was unanimous.
Board members briefly checked whether online viewers could see the vote; the clerk said they could not. No additional spending breakdown or specific student names were discussed in the recorded segment.
