Data & your voice

Surveys, by subject · the results so far · Where’s the data? — every mission runs on what the community measures.

The foundation

Learning — start here

1. Education 101 — BIE schools, public districts, and grant schools: who runs each, who funds each.
2. DODE, ONSFA, and BIE in the glossary — the offices behind the acronyms.
3. From the interviews: candidates themselves differ on school types and school-board preparation — one reason this lesson exists.

Why this guide matters

Education is the Nation’s capacity engine — every unfilled seat, every program that thrives or stalls at Diné College and in the schools shapes who is ready to serve tomorrow. When the community follows education governance the way it follows a ballgame — who decides, where the money goes, what the oversight found — decisions improve, because the deciders know the people are watching and learning.

How we’ll know it’s working

Honest, countable signs: more community questions submitted on education · the education instruments gathering answers · case-study pages read and rated useful · and — the real one — more people who can explain how a college board, a school budget, or a provost dispute actually gets decided. We publish the counts, dated, on Community Findings.

Diné College — the standing case to follow

The Diné College funding & governance case study lays out the record — claims and findings labeled, sources linked. What to watch as a citizen, any season: who sits on the Board of Regents and how they got there · where the funding comes from and what the audits said · what programs open or close, and who decides. Every one is a checkable fact, not a rumor — and every one is a question a candidate or official can be asked.

The Landry case study

Evaluation — a contested dispute as a practice field

Reading the News with the Lenses: the Diné College Provost Case — a provost terminated seventeen days after taking office, with two conflicting accounts about hiring policy, sovereignty, and fairness. The case is active and contested; the case study presents both accounts, endorses neither, and remains marked draft–under–review. That makes it the honest practice field: run the five lenses, mark your own reading privately, and notice which facts you’d need before deciding anything.
