Phillips, Latifah; Lynn, Laura; Banker, Joan
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
In 2017, Washington's schools served 69,490 public school students that identified as American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN). The Office of Native Education (ONE), established in the 1960s, assists AI/AN students to achieve basic education goals and meet state standards while supporting cultural identity. This report addresses the accomplishments and recommendations of ONE, a department within the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Among these accomplishments are: (1) Adding Chief Leschi Tribal School as the sixth State-Tribal Education Compact (STEC) school, joining Wa He Lut Indian School, Lummi Nation Schools, Chief Kitsap Academy, Muckleshoot Tribal School, and Quileute Indian School; (2) The passage of Senate Bill 6474 (2018), which created a pilot project for tribal compact schools to accommodate cultural and agricultural events in school attendance requirements; and (3) Deepening relations continue with tribes, tribal education staff, Indian education programs, and state entities from early learning to higher education as directed by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) RCW 43.376.
