BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's superintendent of public instruction says a school at the Dakota Access pipeline protest site is operating illegally and students should enroll at other schools until it meets state standards.
Kirsten Baesler says in a letter to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council that the Mandan Public School District is prepared to accept students from the Protectors of the Water school at the Sacred Stone Camp, as well as bus them to and from the camp.
Baesler noted that it will likely take "considerable time" for the camp school to gain approval and suggested students enroll in Fort Yates, Solen or Cannonball.
