| Abstract: | The New Mexico Public Education Department's (PED) mission is to ensure all students in New Mexico receive the education they deserve and that students are prepared for college, career, and lifelong learning. To do this, the department is focused on supporting sustained learning and outreach to districts, charter schools, tribal education departments, parents, students, and communities. PED also focuses on leadership, productivity, building capacity, accountability, communication internally and externally, and fiscal responsibility. New Mexico is unique because of the 23 sovereign tribes that include 19 Pueblos spanning across the state. PED has the unique opportunity to work with all 23 nations by focusing on each tribes' educational priorities that directly affect their tribal students and communities. The State-Tribal Collaboration Act (STCA) is only one of the mechanisms that supports PED's ongoing relationship and collaboration with each Pueblo, Tribe, and Nation. Within each Pueblo, Tribe, and Nation, are education departments that provide educational and cultural opportunities for students while they are in school but also provide after school and summer learning for their tribal students. These multiple opportunities embedded in each community offer PED unique opportunities to work with community members, help build capacity and increase institutional knowledge within each education department. 80-day student count data for school year 2024-2025 shows that 36,498 students enrolled in a public school, state or local charter in grades PreK-12th identified as being a member of at least one of the Pueblos, Tribes, and Nations located in New Mexico. The largest membership identified as Navajo. The PED, Indian Education Division (IED) and other bureaus and divisions work collaboratively with the Local Education Agencies (LEAs) where these students attend. This report includes: (1) Agency Overview and Background; (2) Tribal Liaison Contact Information; (3) Statutory Requirement; (4) PED's Adopted Policy Pursuant to the State Tribal Collaboration Act; (5) Indian Education Advisory Council (IEAC); (6) PED's Accomplishments and Strategic Priorities; (7) Evidence of Effective Communication and Collaboration Between the State Agency and Pueblos, Tribes, and Nations; (8) Training that Supports Communication, Collaboration, and Cultural Competency; (9) Evidence of Communication and Collaboration Across PED Bureaus and Divisions; (10) Native American Student Data SY2024-2025; and (11) Students by Tribal Affiliation Across All Districts and Charters. |
