Identification

Title VI Grant funds are determined by the number of Native students who register as a member of a federally recognized tribe. Therefore, the Title VI Native American program can only exist with due diligence in student identification and patron support.

According to federal law, Native American students self-identify during registration. When a student in PCSD indicates they are of indigenous descent, their electronic registration provides the option to fill out the federal 506 form, which indicates membership in a federally recognized tribe. In order to be valid, the 506 form must include a tribal identification number or other evidence of membership in a federal recognized tribe as determined by the tribe itself. These 506 forms are kept private and secure, provided only in the event of federal audit. PCSD is grateful to our Native American patrons for providing the documentation that allows us to provide Native education services to our students.

Academic Support

Title VI provides regular, culturally-responsive mentoring to Native American high school students. PCSD mentors monitor student grades and credit status as well as providing encouragement, communication and advocacy with schools. Our mentors work to ensure Native students in PCSD are connected with culturally-relevant field trips and resources as well as the services provided by schools for student success. They also work to ensure that Native students are on track to graduate and planning for post-secondary opportunities. On an individual basis by school request, Title VI mentors also work in middle and elementary schools to provide support and reading intervention where needed.
