Through funding set aside during the 68th Legislative Assemble, NDDPI offers each public district an opportunity to receive $2,000 per elementary building serving K-3 students for LETRS training. This will ensure that one educator is fully trained in LETRS.
DPI is hosting two online Q&A sessions for districts to learn more about this funding opportunity.
