Tribal Consultation Toolkit
Since 2016, there is a Tribal consultation requirement, as established by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The purpose of the requirement is to ensure that meaningful and timely consultations about issues affecting American Indian and Alaska Native students to provide appropriate officials from Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations to contribute to plans being made in a meaningful and substantive way. Since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Tribal consultation requirement is becoming even more important with the passage of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER). The National Comprehensive Center has developed a toolkit to assist educational agencies and Tribal agencies. The link to the toolkit can be found here:
