What is an IEC?

The Indian Education Committee (IEC) consists of parents who have children in the school district who are verified as Johnson O'Malley (JOM) eligible. JOM students are those whose blood quantum equals at least 1/4 degree or more from a Federally Recognized Tribe who are age three to grade twelve. A selected number of parents are elected to sit on the IEC and is based off their By-Laws. Any parent or interested person can attend these meetings as they are open to the public. This parent committee holds the voting rights and oversees how the monies for JOM are expended each year. Each expenditure must meet with the top priorities from the Parent Needs Assessment (survey) that is conducted annually of only eligible parents of JOM verified students. The Tribal Education Advocates (TEAs) attend each IEC meeting regularly but are not voting member of this committee. Go to IEC Meetings page for meeting dates and times.
