Participants in Parent Cafés report feeling inspired, supported, and energized by the experience. As an added benefit, Cafés are eligible for parent education credit hours.

On Monday Sept 30, Kayla Pulvermacher visited with Ms. Bummer's Ag III class to talk about what it means to be a Lobbyist and her job as the Executive Director at the North Dakota Grain Growers Association. Towards the end of her visit, she split the students up into groups, gave them a specific case that she had previously worked on, and had them get to work on their new lobbyist skills. She then had them present what they came up with to her to try to persuade her into voting for their bill. The students were very engaged with Ms. Pulvermacher and enjoyed her presentation.

On August 14, 2024 the NDHSAA Board of Directors approved a Class A Review recommendation to add a minimum penalty for spectators who are ejected from contests during the regular season. The policy was drafted by the NDHSAA Sportsmanship & Citizenship Committee prior to being approved.
Any attendee ejected from a regular season or NDHSAA tournament contest will incur a minimum three (3) game/event suspension from that team’s games/events and all other NDHSAA games/events in the interim at any level of competition. If the ejection occurs with fewer than three (3) games/events remaining in the team’s season, the suspension will carry over to the school’s sports season which immediately follows. An attendee ejected for a second time during a school year shall be suspended for a minimum of one (1) calendar year from all NDHSAA regular and postseason events. NDHSAA member schools may increase these minimum penalties at their discretion.
