District to submit Minnesota Office of Indian Education compliance form after APAC concurrence
Summary
District staff reported that the Minnesota Office of Indian Education compliance form will be submitted after signatures are collected; the local parent advisory committee voted concurrence on six focus areas and staff said the related grant approval will allow spending of allocated funds.
A district staff member presented the annual compliance form required by the Minnesota Office of Indian Education and said the district will submit the paperwork after obtaining required signatures.
The presenter said the form is due March 1 and that the district's parent advisory committee (APAC) met and reviewed six areas of focus tied to district goals. The APAC voted to concur that progress toward the goals was sufficient; as a result, staff said the state is expected to approve the grant for the current school year and allow the district to begin spending funds rather than awaiting reimbursement.
Staff said they still awaited the signature of the APAC parent chair, who was on vacation, but that the application could be submitted digitally once signatures were complete. The parent advisory committee had highlighted goals including post‑secondary preparation and informational sessions; staff said plans include virtual sessions and a FAFSA information session so juniors and seniors can access college planning resources.
The board acknowledged the update and asked staff to secure the remaining signature and file the form so state funding could be confirmed.
