During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the utilization of the NAST building and the representation of Native American students within the district. A board member emphasized the importance of the NAST building, noting that the 20 acres taken from Haskell represents only a small fraction of the land historically taken from Indigenous peoples. The building serves as a vital community resource, hosting various meetings and providing cafeteria services for local students.

The conversation shifted to the Native American student population in the district, which comprises approximately 8% of the overall student body. Board members expressed concern about outreach efforts to engage more families in educational programs. They highlighted the need for increased representation within schools and discussed ongoing initiatives aimed at inviting more families to participate in district programs.

The meeting underscored the commitment to fostering a supportive environment for Native American students and the importance of community resources in achieving this goal.
