The Alamo Navajo School Board, Inc. (ANSB) is the entity controlling a K-12 tribal school in Alamo, New Mexico. It is affiliated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).[2] It also maintains a clinic and other public infrastructure in Alamo.[3]
History
Due to the passage of the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act, a local school board was established in 1979.[4]
Alamo Community Navajo school opened with grades K-8 on October 1, 1979. Its initial campus was four portable buildings.[5] The high school was established on December 15, 1980.[6]
By 2012 it was the only employer in Alamo. The school board, federally funded, was used as a vehicle to have public works projects without needing to involve the Navajo Nation bureaucracy. Cindy Yurth of the Navajo Times wrote that it is "the de facto government of Alamo".[7]
In 2018 a group of parents criticized the school board for spending $497,000 on expenses not directly related to education.[8]
In 2018 a group of parents collected 299 signatures on a petition to recall board members under the terms set by the Navajo Election Administration.[9]
In 2019 the federal courts indicted three former board members, accusing them of lying about taking business trips so they could take federal funds.[10]
Student body
In 2022 student enrollment was 293. [11]
Student achievement
In the 2014–2015 school year, as per BIE statistics, 1% of the students were categorized as having proficiency in mathematics. This increased to 3% in the 2015–2016 school year. The percentage of students proficient in English in the 2015–2016 school year was 4%.[8] By 2022 5% of students were categorized as proficient in math and 8% in reading with 100% of students reported as being on free or reduced lunch.
