ADE; tribal education liaison office

HB 2896 creates a tribal education liaison office within Arizona's Department of Education. The office will disaggregate student data for Native American students (as defined by federal tribal recognition) and consult with Arizona's federally recognized tribes to develop data policies. It also aims to establish memorandums of understanding with tribes for culturally appropriate data use. This bill directly affects Native American students and tribal communities by improving data transparency and collaboration in education. The policy change requires the state education department to implement these data-sharing practices under federal privacy laws.
