Summary
The board voted to concur with the APAC annual compliance review. APAC representatives described expanded cultural programming, drumming, after-school tutoring and field trips to tribal sites.
The board reviewed and voted to concur with the APAC (American Indian Parent Advisory Council) annual compliance report.
Chad, representing APAC, told the board the council met on Jan. 28 and voted concurrence. He outlined activities the council has supported this year, including expanded field trips and cultural opportunities for American Indian students: after-school tutoring with high-school students mentoring elementary students, monthly drumming with Travis Decorre, a two-day horse-camp focused on cultural learning, visits to Mille Lacs Indian Museum and planned Treaty Site visits in St. Peter, and a cultural honors banquet. Chad said these programs contribute to cultural education and post-secondary readiness.
Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions. The board approved the annual concurrence by motion and voice vote.
What’s next: APAC will continue the listed activities and report back to the board as required by concurrence procedures.
