WE PRODUCE RESEARCH, PROVIDE TRAINING, CONDUCT POLICY ANALYSIS, AND CONVENE OUR PARTNERS AND ALLIES TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS AND ADVANCE OUR MISSION. WE BELIEVE AN IMPORTANT ROOT CAUSE IN THE EDUCATION OUTCOME DISPARITY BETWEEN INDIGENOUS STUDENTS AND OTHER STUDENTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA IS THE LACK OF FORMAL CONSULTATION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM IN OUR STATE AND TRIBAL EDUCATION DIRECTORS FROM THE NINE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS ROOT CAUSE, WE WORKED TO DEVELOP AND BUILD SUPPORT FOR A FIRST OF ITS KIND TRIBAL ACCORD TO SUPPORT THE IMPROVEMENT OF INDIGENOUS EDUCATION IN OUR STATE. WE CONVENED OUR PARTNERS, ALLIES, AND SUPPORTERS. WE ALSO PROVIDED TRAININGS FOR OUR PARTNERS AND ALLIES. WE ACCOMPLISHED THE FOLLOWING IN 2025: HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE BALL ON THE MALL PROGRAM IN JULY AND AUGUST 2025. THE PROGRAM WAS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SDEEC AND THE RAPID CITY POLICE. STUDENTS TRAVELED TO THE STATE CAPITOL IN PIERRE AND WERE INTRODUCED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE STATE HOUSE AND STATE SENATE. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE SDEEC, SEVEN STUDENTS ATTENDED AN EDUCATION EVOLVING CONFERENCE IN MINNEAPOLIS AND WERE ABLE TO PRESENT AT A PANEL DISCUSSION IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE ATTENDEES. THE SDEEC PROVIDED TRAININGS FOR HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS, STUDENTS, PARENTS, TRIBAL EDUCATION DIRECTORS, AND EDUCATION EXPERTS TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HOW TO NAVIGATE PUBLIC BOARDS, TASK FORCES, COUNCILS, AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE. THE SDEEC CONVENED OUR PARTNERS AND ALLIES VIRTUALLY EACH MONTH TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC POLICY, PLAN TOGETHER, HEAR FROM GUEST SPEAKERS, AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION. WE HOSTED AN IN-PERSON RETREAT IN RAPID CITY WITH DOZENS OF ATTENDEES. THE RETREATS FEATURED PANELS, PRESENTATIONS, ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS, TRAINING, GUEST SPEAKERS, AND INTERACTIVE PLANNING SESSIONS. THE RETREATS ALSO PROVIDED ATTENDEES OPPORTUNITIES TO NETWORK, CONNECT WITH FELLOW EDUCATION ADVOCATES, AND SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR WORK. PLANNED THE FIRST EVER CAPITOL DAY FOR INDIGENOUS STUDENTS TO TRAVEL TO THE STATE CAPITOL IN PIERRE. DEVELOPED A PILOT TRIBAL ACCORD CONCEPT FOR USE IN RAPID CITY AREA SCHOOLS AND THE SIOUX FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT. 709757 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA IL MN NY X JAYE CONRAD 6055805027 303 E JACKSON ST APT 1 RAPID CITY SD 57701 DEBORAH BORDEAUX CHAIR UNTIL 12/2025/DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TASHINA BANKS-RAMA VICE CHAIR/TREAS.SEC FROM 12/2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY BOWMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 NORA ANTOINE DIRECTOR/CHAIR FROM 12/2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DIANA COURNOYER DIRECTOR/VICE CHAIR FROM 12/2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAYNA BRAVE EAGLE DIRECTOR FROM 09/2025 2.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH WHITE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 125979 0 24006 JAYE CONRAD DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 84587 0 1198 210566 0 25204 1 0 1 0 MATTHEW BRIX 4529 GARFIELS AVE MINNEAPOLIS MN 55419 CONSULTING 112500 1 868168 868168 2251 2251 870419 0 0 2251 X 4600 4600 242195 100982 125677 15536 175003 134849 39654 500 50364 45985 3993 386 30597 17385 12225 987 5233 5233 31466 31466 318262 203605 24654 90003 30871 21214 5829 3828 14785 3251 11534 9100 6528 2572 130477 110003 17742 2732 42978 25050 17928 25 25 19062 17662 1400 5618 2230 3196 192 SUPPLIES & MATERIALS 19092 16413 2679 FISCAL SPONSORSHIP FEE 223 223 1129951 709757 305807 114387 602305 644488 1418856 1141984 5144 11159 95428 34476 80014 60952 2106319 1858583 19838 31634 19838 31634 X 47953 60252 2038528 1766697 2086481 1826949 2106319 1858583 -259532 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 525000 3470994 236848 868168 5101010 525000 3470994 236848 868168 5101010 3210117 1890893 265 831 2251 3347 5104357 X SCHEDULE A, PART II THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED ON FEBRUARY 16, 2022 AND THEREFORE WAS NOT IN OPERATION FOR ALL OF 2022.
