摘要：The primary purpose of this paper is an exploration of issues related to the provision of second level (central office) services available to schools within the Yorkton Tribal Council (YTC), a First Nations educational authority located in southeastern Saskatchewan. Research results supported the role of second level services in improving student learning and identified a shortfall in second level funding for the Yorkton Tribal Council. Key stakeholder focus groups from within the Yorkton Tribal Council agreed with these conclusions and identified a number of additional issues such as relevant curriculum, instruction, teacher recruitment and retention, and improved leadership and governance.
