Dear Nixyaawii students, parents, and community members,
We would like to address concerns following yesterday’s walkout. Due to declining enrollment and cuts from the federal government on education funding, the school has been faced with the difficult decision to move forward with a Reduction in Force. This was not made lightly, both the School Board and Administration carefully discussed this over several months.
We want to be clear: math instruction is not being eliminated. NCS will continue to meet the math needs of all students using current licensed staff, while also maintaining CTE programs and other elective courses currently offered.
At the same time, we acknowledge that some classes taught by local CTUIR members have been reduced and are no longer available. We value these cultural offerings deeply and will continue to provide as many culturally relevant opportunities as possible, with the goal of engaging students in meaningful ways.
We understand emotions are high, but it is important to recognize that some information shared has been misleading. We encourage students and families to seek accurate information directly from school administrator.
Our commitment remains unchanged, to provide all students with a strong, stable, and well-rounded education.
Sincerely
Ryan Heinrich, Principal
Candice Patrick, NCS Board Chair
Go Golden Eagles!
