Regional Comprehensive Centers 2, 13, 15 reposted this
Exciting news! WestEd has been selected to lead the Region 14 Comprehensive Center (R14CC), which the U.S. Department of Education has dedicated to solely serving the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). The R14CC will support the bureau itself and the 183 Tribally controlled, BIE-operated, and Navajo schools it serves: this means we have the honor of working together to better meet the needs of 42,000 Indigenous students across 64 reservations and 23 states. WestEd has provided support and services to the BIE since 2019. “We are pleased and honored to lead the 2024–29 Region 14 Comprehensive Center. This arc of work: to support so many Indigenous cultures and philosophies over thousands of miles with research, data, resources, and assistance, stands to not only benefit generations of Native students but to advance sovereign tribal Nations themselves," said Robert Salley, who will serve as the director of the Region 14 Comprehensive Center.
