The Association of Contract Tribal Schools (ACIS) was formed to provide support and assistance to tribal schools and schools interested in local control of education. The movement began in 1966 with one school and has now grown to over 60 schools throughout the nation. The President of ACIS is concerned about the proposed reductions in funding for the Title IV Indian Education Act, which has had a positive impact on education programs on reservations. The funds have supported training for educators and administrators, increased community involvement, culturally relevant instruction and curriculum development, and education support service programs. The President emphasizes the importance of funding for the education and development of Indigenous leaders.
