"To provide quality educational opportunities from childhood through adult life in accordance with the Tribe's needs for cultural and economic well being as well as the members' needs for individual development and self-sufficiency." Here is all education related sources from k-12, Child Development, TruancyProgram, Adult Education, and Cultural/Language Program.

IMPORTANT : The Truancy Resolution is still in effect either on line or in school in Cortez

Under our Growing Ute Futures program (RISE grant) we have some Student Navigators to help in this situation, so that children’s schooling doesn’t get behind—we are trying to get a general idea of how many people may need the help so we build it correctly asap.
