School officials from the Wind River Reservation say they are slowly making progress in trying to improve graduation rates and educating students. They told a meeting of 2 legislative committees on Monday in Riverton that more early education for children and more involvement with parents are needed. But they all say that socio-economic factors also play a role. Tribal leaders and education officials say they are all striving to resolve the issue, but they say it will take time. State School Board Vice Chairman Scott Ratliff says that he believes early childhood education would help students learn at an earlier age. Lawmakers are considering supporting such an effort Wyoming Interim Education Director Jim Rose says better engagement with school boards will also be important.
