North Dakota Wants Your Thoughts On Education’s Future
State School Superintendent Levi Bachmeier is inviting families, students and community members across North Dakota to participate in a statewide survey aimed to public input on issues shaping schools, students and the future of education in the state.
The survey is designed to collect perspectives from both those directly involved in schools and members of the broader community, with the goal of developing a shared understanding of what educational success should look like in North Dakota.
“With a shared definition of success, I believe North Dakota can lead the nation with America’s best schools,” Bachmeier said. “This survey provides an opportunity for citizens across our state to share their priorities so we can ensure that our definition of educational success considers the perspectives of those inside and outside our schools.”
The online survey is open to the public and will remain available through Friday, Feb. 6, 2026. Participation is voluntary and open to all North Dakotans, regardless of whether they currently have a direct connection to the state’s education system.
According to the Department of Public Instruction, the feedback gathered will be compiled by Bachmeier and shared with state boards and advisory committees responsible for shaping long-term education policy and strategy. Public responses are expected to help inform priorities and decisions aimed at improving student outcomes statewide.
Survey results will also be used to update the Department of Public Instruction’s strategic plan, ensuring it reflects current public priorities and concerns as the state looks ahead to future educational needs.
The survey, which is open until Feb 6th, can be found HERE.
