Title VI Indian Education Meetings
What is the purpose of the parent committee?
An essential part of our Indian Education program is our parent involvement. Our Title VI Program could not function without our Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee (IEAC). The IEAC gives recommendations to our program based on the needs of their Indian children. I would like to encourage all of our parents, relatives, guardians, teachers, administrators, etc. to become involved in formulating and molding our Indian Education program to fit the needs of our Indian children in Banner Public School. We now hold one IEAC meeting per year as the funding is incorporated into our Title I program until the end of 2022. As we look to the future and building our Title VI program to include more diverse opportunities, the recommendations and input of our IEAC is critical.
The purpose of the IEAC shall be to assist the Banner Public School in bringing about the most effective Indian Education Program possible. To achieve this purpose, the IEAC shall provide advice and assistance to the Banner Public School District in developing, operating and evaluating the Title VI project. The establishment of and the work of the parent committee is intended to comply with the rules and regulations of the Title VI Indian Education Act.
Who can be a member of the IEAC?
The following are eligible to serve and vote on the IEAC:
1. Parents and/or guardians of Indian children who are eligible to receive services under the proposed project.
2. Teachers, including guidance counselors, except members of the project staff and other personnel paid by the project.
