Districts, charter schools and tribal schools that report an American Indian student count of 20 or more to the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) must submit to MDE an American Indian Plan. The Plan details district efforts to:
Support postsecondary preparation for pupils;
Support the academic achievement of American Indian students;
Make curriculum relevant to the needs, interests, and cultural heritage of American Indian pupils;
Provide positive reinforcement of the self-image of American Indian pupils;
Develop intercultural awareness among pupils, parents, and staff; and
Supplement (not supplant) state and federal educational and cocurricular programs.
If your student or family identifies as North American Indian, please reach out to Chris Dobis (320) 632-2013 or cdobis@lfalls.k12.mn.us, American Indian Education staff, to learn more about available programming and support.
