     128B.011 School governance and standards. 

    Subdivision 1.    Governance.  The care, management, and 
 control of Pine Point School is vested in the White Earth 
 Reservation Tribal Council.  The council has the same powers and 
 duties as a school board under chapters 120A to 129C and other 
 provisions applicable to school boards.  The tribal council may 
 delegate powers and duties for the operation of the school to 
 the Indian Education Committee.  The committee may exercise 
 powers and duties delegated to it. 

    Subd. 2.    Standards.  The school is a public school 
 providing instruction for pupils in kindergarten through the 8th 
 grade.  Instruction shall meet the same standards for 
 instruction as are required for other public schools. 

    Subd. 3.    Cooperation with school districts.  If the 
 council determines it cannot adequately provide certain 
 services, the council shall purchase or share services with one 
 or more school districts or other provider for instruction, 
 administration, or other requirements of operating the school, 
 including curriculum, teachers, support services, supervision, 
 administration, financial accounting and reporting, and other 
 instructional and noninstructional programs.  The council is 
 encouraged to cooperate with school districts to increase and 
 improve instructional and support services available to the 
 pupils in the school.
