The Board of Education desires to ensure educational opportunities for all students, including Native American students. The Board of Education shall foster cooperation and maintain an open line of communication with tribal governments whose jurisdictional boundaries include areas within the Albuquerque Public Schools boundaries to verify, in accordance with state and federal law that these tribes agree with Albuquerque Public Schools Indian Education policies and procedures.
