TEDNA has made great improvements over the past 6 months. Recently, it was awarded a grant from the Indian Land Tenure Foundation to develop an Indian Education Professional Development program and to assist in the distribution of the Indian Land Tenure Foundation land based curriculum. The grant will provide funding for basic administrative activities and to expand the current scope of TEDNA's work. TEDNA has continued its advocacy work in the area of Indian Education by hosting National TED forums, TEDNA membership meetings and online Indian Education seminars. TEDNA was joined by the NIEA Board of Directors, the OIE Director and the BIE at the last TED Forum to discuss the NCLB reauthorization. In addition, TEDNA is working diligently to amend the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act to provide Tribal Education Departments with access to tribal members’ public school records.
