I have a concern or suggestion I want to share and discuss with other parents. Who do I contact to get on the agenda?
What happens at quarterly meetings?
Who attends the Indigenous Parent Committee (IPC) meetings?
Meetings are open to the CUSD students, parents, and staff.
All parents of current CUSD American Indian/Alaska Native students in grades K-12 are encouraged to attend. All students are also welcome to attend. We especially welcome CUSD teachers and other staff.
In addition, we try to have 2 to 3 Indigenous student advisors from Basha, Casteel, Chandler, Hamilton, or Perry campuses present at our meetings. We also have guests from the community. All guest speakers must be verified by Antonette Shirley at least one month ahead of the scheduled meeting. Guest speakers may include academic, social, mental, cultural coordinators, or other specialists or programs specific to the academic or cultural well-being of youth and/or adults. Prior guest speakers have included Phoenix Indian Center, Gila River Indian Community Education Department, and the Chandler Coalition on Youth Substance Abuse.
