Adams Board of Directors hosted one of the most successful Meaningful Tribal Consultation sessions ever, this past week. There were five members of the Yakama Tribal Council present as well as the new Tribal Council Chairman, Mr. Gerald Lewis. We had a very meaningful conversation about attendance, graduation, reading, culture, and language that have opened the door for future conversations and collaboration between Tribal leaders and the School District. The District has not received any additional comments on IPPs since the last round of revisions.
