Title VI?

Title VI is a federally funded program through the Dept. of Education to increase academic support to Native American students.

It asks for the tribal membership,  roll number, which can be for any of the following: 

The Title VI IPAC Committee and School liaisons work on the Indian Education Program in developing next year's programming. In order to pass a federal and state audit, the form must be completely filled out by a parent/guardian. You can return the completed form to your child's school office secretary or Courtney McClendon at the central office.
