BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) serves as a branch of the State Education Agency (SEA) responsible for providing educational services for several elementary and secondary schools and dormitories serving students across 23 states. BIE is seeking a staffing contract for three positions: School Psychologist, Speech Language Pathologist, and Occupational Therapist to support Isleta Elementary School (IES) located in Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico, and the T’siya Day School (TDS) in Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, for the 2026-2027 school year and potentially four (4) additional school years (option years). The IES is operated by the BIE under the direction of the Associate Deputy Director, Bureau Operated Schools (ADD-BOS) and an Education Program Administrator (EPA). The mission of the BIE is to provide quality education opportunities from early childhood through life in accordance with a tribe’s needs for cultural and economic well-being, in keeping with the wide diversity of Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages as distinct cultural and governmental entities. Further, the BIE is to manifest consideration of the whole person by considering the spiritual, mental, physical, and cultural aspects of the individual within his or her family and tribal or village context. Isleta Elementary School
Isleta Elementary School (IES) serves grades K through 6 and serves approximately 90 students. The vision of IES is to educate the whole child based on the core community values so each child has the knowledge and skills to be successful.

Every aspect of the school, from the tile colors and placement to the directional stationing of the front, help honor and set the representation of the rich cultural history and tradition of the Pueblo of Isleta, as viewed from their elders, parents, staff members, and students. As you enter the building and glance up, you will see a flock of geese flying North, telling us it is time to plant. Walk into the courtyard, and you will find two cisterns that collect rainwater that is to be used in the school garden and the landscaping throughout the school grounds. Cross over the bridge and you will be led to the gymnasium, which is a generous building designed for students/community gatherings and celebrations.
