Convenings of School Directors & Tribal Leaders

Held Each Spring

The Office of Native Education and the Washington State School Directors’ Association hold regional convenings of school directors and tribal leaders to gather, share, and dialog together to strengthen our government-to-government relationships and discuss matters critical to the support of our native students. While the focus may vary from year to year, topics covered may include tribal consultation requirements and training, the identification of native students, tribal sovereignty curriculum, data sharing, and student outcomes.

Advance Registration Required

There is no cost to participate, but advance registration is required to ensure we have the right amount of meals and that a spot is available for you.
