AIE Program Overview
Our mission is to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian students, enabling them to meet the same challenging state student academic achievement standards as all students are expected to meet.
The A.I.E.P was established in 1973 by Cloquet Public Schools along with the Fond du lac Reservation community in response to the 1972 (federal Indian Education Act. This legislation recognizes the need for the equalization of academic standards for all students. The program is implemented under the guidance of the AIE Director and the Local Indian Education Committee.
Tribal enrollment of the student, parent or grandparent qualifies a student for the program services. Signed forms must be on file to qualify for Title VI or JOM services.
