Students from across Lincoln County School District gathered this week for the annual Native Youth Summit, focusing on self-care and policy input.
Following Superintendent Dr. Majalise Tolan’s keynote address, students participated in discussions about equitable attendance rules, school resource officers, land acknowledgment, and complaint procedures. Their involvement continues a tradition of meaningful student impact, exemplified by last year’s successful advocacy for district-wide Indigenous People’s Day learning activities.
Breakout sessions centered on artistic creations and practical initiatives, including:
- Adapting the district’s land acknowledgment for elementary students
- Developing Native American peer support systems
- Building healthy relationships
- Creating resources for students navigating challenges
- Implementing self-care strategies
The summit builds on LCSD’s commitment to incorporating student perspectives in district policies and practices.
