Introduction
In Resolution 2320 of September 1987, the Board of Education established the American Indian Education Advisory Council. The purpose and object is to encourage the development of a partnership between the council and the district. The council's primary focus is to advocate for the education needs of American Indian Youth in Denver Public Schools.
Mission Statement
