Licensure

Licensing Fees

The Education and Standards Practices Board does not receive any state tax dollars and carries out its mandated duties using the license fees provided by North Dakota educators. As part of becoming a true profession, the profession has the authority to set the rules and regulations of the profession but then also has the responsibility of providing the funding. The ESPB became an independent board in 1995 as the first step toward moving toward a true profession. The Board of Educators is appointed by the Governor and can hold 2 3-tear terms.
