  • To make recommendations to the board with respect to any matter affecting the development and delivery of programs and services for Indigenous students of the board.
  • To support and promote Indigenous Educational programming in the board and broader community.
  • To identify areas that may require advocacy and awareness to strengthen the linkages between educational programs and services.
  • To review the financial statements from provincial funding and tuition agreements as they relate to First Nations Educational Service Agreements.
