Description: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education Formula Team is seeking stakeholder input to identify ways the OIE can support the role of Indian Parent Committees (IPCs). When ESSA was reauthorized in 2015, it removed the Indian Parent Committee’s (IPC) post-award oversight causing a grantee’s (e.g., local education agency/LEA, Tribe, BIE) administrative leadership employees to have full authority over the grant’s funded activities and services after the entity receives the funds each year (6114)(c)(4)(A-C) https://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/essa/legislation/title-vi.pdf (p.7/53). This session advances Secretarial Supplemental Priority 6(a) and (b) which is to increase parent and family engagement.
Questions:
- How has the pandemic impacted IPC pre/post award input efforts?
- How can OIE further strengthen our partnerships to promote IPC success?
- How can the OIE increase parent, family, and Tribal engagement with IPCs?
- What can be done to empower IPC & LEA administration/employee shared leadership efforts?
- What is your IPC’s current and/or persistent barriers to success, e.g., policies, procedures?
- What type(s) of systemic change needs to be accomplished to support IPCs – even post-award- and strengthen Title VI(a) program results?
- What types of cross-agency coordination is needed to advance systemic change?
- What is your IPC success stories, e.g., what is working well?
