AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Education & Tech Policy: North Dakota education leaders and lawmakers are weighing new rules for student device use, with a community survey showing big disagreement on when schools should issue tablets or laptops and top concerns centered on social media well-being, AI safety, cyberbullying, and cellphone management. Agriculture & Water: A summer drought is raising alarms for next spring’s crops and cattle feed, with experts warning that stressed cool-season grasses may struggle to regrow after winter and that pasture recovery could be delayed. Federal Politics & Property Rights: Sen. Kevin Cramer says he’ll block future Trump nominees unless the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service changes a wetlands rule affecting farmers’ drainage tiles near protected easements. Food Assistance: SNAP changes are rolling out, with North Dakota scheduled to start limiting what shoppers can buy beginning Sept. 1. Workforce Development: The state Commerce Department awarded funding to regional workforce projects, including energy/utility and healthcare strategy work, educator workplace improvements, and long-term planning in Beach. Culture & Community: UND named a space studies professor as an ambassador to the Council on Foreign Relations’ Education Ambassador Program, and Medora’s Maah Daah Hey 100 weekend highlighted local mountain biking winners. Public Safety & Health: North Dakota received national certification as a Recovery Friendly Workplace, and the Highway Patrol is flagging unbuckled-driver deaths as a continuing problem.
