8.f. Approve Acknowledgment of Compliance / Vote of Concurrent - American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (FY26)
Description:
Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.78 requires Minnesota districts, charter schools, cooperatives, and Tribally controlled schools with 10 or more American Indian students to have an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (AIPAC). Specifically, the Statutes cite that school boards and American Indian schools must provide for the maximum involvement of parents and children enrolled in education programs, programs for elementary and secondary grades, special education programs, and support services. Districts, charter schools, cooperatives, and Tribally controlled schools with 10 or more American Indian students are required to submit annual compliance documents to the Office of American Indian Education (OAIE) each year. Also known as the vote of concurrence or nonconcurrence, annual compliance is a valuable opportunity for AIPAC members to meet and discuss whether or not they concur with the educational offerings that have been extended by the district to American Indian students.
