| Governor John Hoeven's State of the State Address
To realize the true potential of our state, we must invest in our priorities - priorities that will help us build the best business climate in America. That starts with education - both K-12 and higher education
Finance
-- Increase funding for elementary and secondary education by more than $75 million over the next four years.
-- Provide supplemental payments to help foster greater funding equity among our school districts.
Teacher compensation
-- Increase compensation increases for teachers.
Governance
-- Fund joint power agreements to help maintain educational quality.
Career/Technical Education
Increase funding for technical education to equip our youth with the increasingly complex skills they will need in North Dakota's growing, and more diverse, economy.
Increase funding of nearly $29 million for higher education. This investment will help keep college tuition affordable for all families.
Economic Development
Link our campuses to the private sector. Our Centers of Excellence program will do just that. Centers of Excellence are partnerships between higher education and business to create new, good paying jobs. These hubs of research and technology commercialize their work into products and services, and they provide a nucleus for business clusters across our state. They represent a significant force for economic growth - not only in North Dakota, but also across America.
Expand this Centers of Excellence initiative as a $50 million program. Further, leverage the state's investment on a 2 to 1 basis, with private sector and federal dollars, to make $150 million available for these dynamic enterprises.
