The Latest from WEEAC
“WestEd’s WEEAC has delivered meaningful technical assistance and fostered a strong, collaborative partnership that has played a key role in shaping a comprehensive plan aimed at improving outcomes for American Indian students in Nevada. This collaboration has proven incredibly valuable not just for the Nevada Department of Education, but also school districts and tribal communities, including tribal leaders who are now better positioned to actively support tribal students through the implementation of this new plan.”
