Dufur SD 29 adopts revised Native American policy language after community feedback
Summary
After a community listening session in Salilo Village, the board approved language edits to its Impact Aid‑related policy (renaming and simplifying technical terms) and adopted the policy into the district procedures.
The board voted to approve language revisions to the district’s Impact Aid‑related policy and to adopt the document into the district policy manual following community input from Salilo Village.
Kristen described a listening session with parents and community members that produced suggested wording changes and a recommendation to rename the document “Native American policies and procedures for Dufur School District.” She said the suggested edits focus on clearer, more user‑friendly language rather than substantive policy shifts.
After brief procedural discussion about where the policy should be filed in the manual, the board approved the language changes and then adopted the policy into district procedures by voice votes. A board member noted the policy is a living document, with multiple prior updates, and asked staff to ensure the policy code/catalog location is appropriate when it is posted to the district policy repository.
