Officials on the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Reservation in North Dakota are considering establishing a single education department.

Currently, three different agencies and five different school boards oversee schools, with some overlapping authority. Officials say the system is hindering reform efforts under the No Child Left Behind Act.

In addition to the public schools for kindergarten through high school, the reservation is home to the Ojibwa School, a Bureau of Indian Affairs school.
