    This will serve as the annual update for KPBSD's Native Education program provide by Coordinator Conrad Woodhead.

    The KPBSD Title VI Native Education Program provides targeted assistance, as identified through the KPBSD Title VI Advisory Committee in the following ways: Tutoring, KPNYL, UP STREAM, and ANSEP.

    Tutoring

    Title VI provides fulltime tutors at three sites: Nanwalek, Port Graham, and Tebughna, and a haltime tutor at Nikiski Middle/High School.  Additionally, Title Vi provides a fulltime teacher at Skyview Middle, who continues tutoring efforts at the school, as well as planning for Title VI opportunities such as UP STREAM Academy, ANSEP, and curriculum work designed to provide credit to Title VI students when participating in tribal sponsored events.  Additionally, KPBSD continues its partnership with the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, who provides a tutor at Mt. View Elementary School.
