Greetings:
 
The Oceti Sakowin Education Consortium is facing a positive time in the history of Indian Education. As a membership owned and managed consortium, we are ready to help each other out, regardless of the needs or the distances between our homes. Our goal is to meet the needs of our children so our communities can remain strong and viable. Yourparticipation in our consortium is welcomed.
 
Regardless of your position as a school teacher, service provider, faculty member, or any of the other many positions necessary in helping our schools serve students; your work with our consortium is appreciated. It is my hope that we can create partnerships that will strengthen our schools through collaboration
 
These pages in the services portion of the OSEC website are designed to be a window into our work. The consortium began as a group of people with a dream and that dream has become a reality in the services provided to our schools. As John Haas once said: “There is nothing so difficult to maintain as a vision that has become a reality.” Our vision has been achieved and it is now through partnerships with people like you that we can maintain a reality that sees our children growing, learning, and living in a safe and well-educated environment. Without your help, we will not get very far, but with it we can change the lives of the 14,000 children served by our membership.
 
Once you have reviewed the services outlined within these pages, please feel free to contact me to discuss how our consortium might assist you in the future and how you might become an active partner in the Oceti Sakowin Education Consortium.
 
Take Care,
 
Ted Hamilton, Executive Director
