Re: Gallup-McKinley County Schools
OCR Case Number 08-11-5002
DOJ Case Number 169-49-68
Dear Superintendent Hyatt:
This is to advise you of the resolution of the above-referenced compliance review conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Educational Opportunities Section (DOJ). The compliance review assessed whether the Gallup-McKinley County Schools (the District) discriminated against American Indian students on the basis of their race by establishing policies and procedures that exclude them from or limit their participation in the District's Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program and Advanced Placement (AP) and honors courses. OCR and DOJ also reviewed whether the District discriminates against American Indian limited-English proficient parents based on race by not providing them with information about the GATE program and Honors and AP courses in a language they understand.
OCR and DOJ initiated this compliance review under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 100, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education. As a recipient of such assistance, the District is subject to Title VI.
During the course of the investigation, we received and reviewed comprehensive data responses from the District. We interviewed the District's administrator overseeing the special education and GATE programs, the District's Special Education Director, and the GATE program coordinators. We reviewed September 2014 survey responses from 256 District teachers, counselors and administrators, from all District schools, about the District's GATE program and Honors and AP courses. We also interviewed GATE program teachers and school coordinators while on-site in March 2015 and conducted numerous follow-up calls with various District staff.
Initially, in October 2011 and multiple times during the course of this investigation, the District's Superintendent acknowledged the underrepresentation of American Indian students in GATE, Honors, and AP programs and courses. The Superintendent also informed OCR that the District is aware of, and has been attempting to remedy, the disparate number of American Indian students involved in its GATE, Advanced Placement, and Honors programs since 2004. Prior to the conclusion of the investigation, the District expressed an interest in voluntarily resolving this case and entered into a Resolution Agreement (the Agreement) on February 14, 2017, which commits the District to specific actions to address the issues under review. This letter summarizes the applicable legal standards, the information gathered during the review, and how the review was resolved.
Applicable Legal Standards
Title VI and its implementing regulation, at 34 C.F.R. Part 100, prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin. Title VI, at 34 C.F.R. § 100.3(a), provides that no person shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program operated by a recipient. The regulation implementing Title VI, at 34 C.F.R. § 100.3(b)(1), prohibits a recipient, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, from denying an individual a service or benefit of a program; providing different services or benefits; restricting an individual in any way in receiving a service or benefit; treating an individual differently in determining whether the individual satisfies any admission or eligibility requirement for provision of a service or benefit; and, denying an individual an opportunity to participate in a program or affording an opportunity to do so which is different from that afforded to others. The regulation implementing Title VI, at 34 C.F.R. § 100.3(b)(2), prohibits a recipient from using criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination because of their race, color, or national origin.
The administration of student enrollment in programs and courses can result in unlawful discrimination based on race in two ways: first, if students are subject to different treatment based on their race; and second, if a policy is neutral on its face and administered neutrally but has a disproportionate and unjustified effect on students of a particular race.
A Department policy document, the May 25, 1970 Memorandum to school districts entitled "Identification of Discrimination and Denial of Services on the Basis of National Origin," 35 Fed. Reg. 11,595 provides that recipients have the responsibility to adequately notify national-origin minority LEP parents of school activities that are called to the attention of other parents, and that such notice in order to be adequate may have to be provided in a language other than English. Executive Order 13166, Improving Access for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, reprinted at 65 Fed. Reg. 50121 (August 16, 2000), requires that recipients of Federal financial assistance "take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to their programs and activities by LEP persons." School districts have an obligation to ensure meaningful communication with LEP parents in a language they can understand and to adequately notify LEP parents of information about any essential program or activity of a school district, including about gifted and talented programs and course offerings.
About the District
The District encompasses 4,957 rural square miles and is the largest school district geographically in New Mexico. The District's American Indian student enrollment consistently hovers above 80% of the student population. Per the District's Civil Rights Data Collection school year (SY) 2009-2010 form, the District enrolled 12,508 students in 39 public schools, including 19 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 9 high schools. At 80.6%, American Indian students comprised the majority of the student enrollment. In SY 2015-16, the District enrolled 11,686 students, with 79.5% (9,291 students) being American Indian.
In SY 2004-05, the District independently began tracking and working to increase American Indian student enrollment in gifted programs. At that time only 34% of the students in the gifted program were identified as American Indian. In each successive school year, the District has identified an increasing number of American Indian students as being gifted, but American Indian students remain underrepresented to a statistically significant degree despite the increasing enrollment of American Indian students in gifted programs Specifically, the District's gifted program enrollment numbers reflect a nearly 20% increase in the number of American Indian students enrolled in the gifted program between SY 2004-2005 to SY 2013-2014. Despite this improvement, American Indian students comprised 81.4% of the total District enrollment in SY 2013-14 and American Indian students comprised only 56% of the students enrolled in its GATE program and in February 2015 American Indians students only comprised 57% of the students enrolled in its GATE program.
The District provided the following data, dated February 2015, "Proportionality Summary for K-12 Public at the District":

Based on its own statistical test, the District determined that non-American Indian students are significantly overrepresented in GATE programs and, thus, inversely American Indian students are significantly underrepresented. This is demonstrated by the information in the preceding table that shows Hispanics and Caucasian students are more than two and three times more likely to appear in the gifted program than expected based on their overall population, while American Indian students appear in the program in far fewer numbers than expected. OCR conducted a Chi-square test using the same information and confirmed that American Indian students were disproportionately underrepresented in gifted service participation in a statistically significant manner.
Summary of Review
- Access to GATE program and Honors and AP classes
- GATE Program
Initial Identification and Referral
- District uses the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) standardized test scores to screen for potential giftedness. For the school year 2015-2016 the top 50%[1] of 3rd graders and top 30% of 6th and 9th graders were screened for giftedness using the PARCC scores and teachers' Having Opportunities Promotes Excellence (HOPE) scales[2] on students. Prior to SY 2015-2016, the District screened only 3rd graders and testing of students other than 3rd graders was only done by teacher referral. Also for the first time during SY 2015-2016 teachers were asked to complete a HOPE scale on all 3rd, 6th and 9th graders; in previous school years, teachers were only asked to complete the HOPE scale for those students they believed exhibited signs of giftedness. parents of each student nominated through teachers' use of the HOPE scale are asked to complete the Parent Inventory form, which helps to gather and assess whether the student exhibits giftedness. At about the same time as the HOPE scales are being utilized by the teachers to determine if students should be nominated for giftedness, the District announces to parents their opportunity to contact their respective Coordinator if they believe their student might be gifted. When a parent contacts a Coordinator, the Coordinator uses the Silverman Characteristics[3] to guide the conversation and to gather information on any characteristics of possible giftedness that the student demonstrates. If the student demonstrates a certain number of the Silverman characteristics based on the conversation, the students' Silverman characteristic information will be entered into the Frasier Talent Assessment Profile (FTAP) Gifted Education Need Identification Engine (FTAP GENIE) database for gifted consideration. FTAP GENIE is a single comprehensive database that allows District Coordinators to review all of the students identified through various means to determine if they should be identified as gifted and offered gifted classes. If the parent reports that the child exhibits 75% or more of the characteristics found there, the parent is advised that the student is likely to qualify; if the child has fewer, the parent is advised that the student is unlikely to qualify. The parent is then given the choice of whether to proceed with further assessments and evaluations. Parents must give written permission to further evaluate the student using the CogAT-7 and the Torrance creativity assessment and, if the student qualifies, to begin gifted services.
The District publicizes and disseminates information about GATE through staff responsible for disseminating notice of gifted testing and screening, primarily the 6 District Coordinators and gifted teachers located at various schools throughout the District. These notices are sent home with students, flyers are posted at each school site, included in newspapers, and the District disseminates this notice to local radio stations who will often translate the notice into the native languages used throughout the District. The District reports that parents' referrals for gifted education are accepted by phone by the GATE Coordinator. However, staff surveyed reported not knowing the action they should take when a student's parent asks how to get their child tested for giftedness or placed in honors or AP classes. Staff members generally did not know the process, and other responses ranged from directing parents to GATE teachers, school principals, school counselors, special education teachers, the registration desk, and the special education director.
On an annual basis, the District provides training on how to identify gifted students to all 3rd, 6th and 9th grade teachers, all counselors and all principals. According to the District, gifted education teachers invite regular education teachers who are new or who wish retraining to learn about the gifted identification process on an annual basis. After the training opportunity, the GATE program requests referrals of 30% of 3rd[4], 6th and 9th grade students plus any other students at other grades who are identified as potentially gifted. The District advised OCR that it seeks referrals of the top 30% of the third grade. The District continues to consider all parent and teacher referrals at any grade level and any students so identified are tested at the same time as the nearest class in age to the 3rd, 6th or 9th graders.
According to information obtained in early 2015 from 247 District staff members, including teachers, counselors, and school principals, over 79% indicated that the District had not provided them professional development training on how to recognize a gifted student or how to refer a student for evaluation for the GATE program. Of this cohort, about half (49.8%) had recommended a student to be evaluated for the GATE program. The District does not provide training to all teachers in the District on how to identify characteristics of giftedness. Instead it provides training to all 3rd, 6th and 9th grade teachers, all school counselors and all principals.
The District reports that parents' referrals for gifted education are accepted by phone by the District's six GATE Coordinators. However, based on surveys of staff members, there is no consensus regarding the actions they would take when a student's parent asks how to get their child tested for giftedness or placed in honors or AP classes. Staff members generally did not know the process, and their responses ranged from directing parents to GATE teachers, school principals, school counselors, special education teachers, the registration desk, and the special education director.
The District's SY 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-2015 data shows discrepancies in several stages of the GATE identification process. For example, the data shows that there is a negative disparity between the number of American Indian students who are referred and the number of American Indian students who are recommended for evaluation, as well as a negative disparity in the number of American Indian students who are recommended for evaluation and the number of American Indian students who are actually evaluated. This disparity is not as negative for White and other students. For example, in SY 2013-2014, 83.1% of Hispanic students recommended for GATE evaluation were evaluated; however, only 66.1% of American Indian students who were recommended for evaluation were evaluated.
Evaluation and Eligibility
- of the students' test score information identified through the initial screening process is entered into the FTAP GENIE alternative assessment protocol and additional information is gathered on those students and entered into the FTAP GENIE to determine if they are gifted. If a student is identified as potentially gifted through this initial screening, the school seeks permission from the student's parents to conduct additional assessments for giftedness (CoGAT-7 and the Torrance test of creative thinking). At the same time these additional assessments are taking place, the parent is asked to complete an inventory about the students' learning opportunities within the home and the student also completes an inventory and the classroom teacher completes Scales for Identifying Gifted Students (SIGS). The CoGAT-7, Torrance, parent and student inventories and the teacher's SIGS are entered in the FTAP GENIE database and each student's scores are evaluated. The staff can adjust the scores for various factors to include economic disadvantage, ethnicity, parent-reported disadvantage characteristics, and ELL status. The staff also takes into consideration opportunity-corrected achievement data, which is information collected about the opportunities available, or not available within each student's home environment (primarily gathered through the parent inventory), e.g. lack of newspapers, books, or other hindrances to learning, and revises these students results upward to correct for the lack of opportunities for students who are slightly below a cutoff for giftedness.
For each student identified through the FTAP-GENIE as gifted, an Evaluation Determination Team (EDT) is convened. The Team is comprised of a GATE teacher (and the area GATE coordinator if the teacher is new), the principal, a general education teacher, the parents and the student. During the meeting, discussion is held concerning whether the student is qualified for GATE and the opportunities available in the program. If the team agrees, then the student enters into GATE.
The District aims to identify 5% of the student population as eligible for gifted services. For SY 2013-14, no elementary school in the District identified 5% of the American Indian student population as gifted. However, five elementary schools identified White students at a rate over the 5% goal: Jefferson, Lincoln, Turpen, Red Rock, and David Skeet. Turpen and David Skeet Elementary Schools have American Indian populations of over 90% with very few White students; and Jefferson, Lincoln, and Red Rock Elementary Schools have lower American Indian populations than most of the school populations in the District. Identification of American Indian elementary students is under the goal of 5% across the District while some schools in the District are identifying White elementary students over the 5% goal.
GATE Services
GATE teachers use a combination of pull-out programs, co-teaching, and consult with regular and advanced class teachers. Classroom teachers are provided with a list of accommodations for their gifted students and meet with the GATE teacher to discuss gifted education objectives that can be met in the regular classroom.
Each GATE student has a plan customized by an EDT to develop each student's talents. Programming options are structured to develop gifted students' talents with an approach that combines accelerated study of multiple disciplines with advanced thinking skills instruction. These services are divided into two broad areas: humanities and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, with Problem Solving). Students who present with aptitude in language arts or social studies, achievement in reading or writing, or ability in creative thinking generally have talent development goals and services related to the humanities (language arts, social studies, creativity). Students who present with aptitude in math or science, achievement in math or science, or problem solving ability often have talent development goals and services related to STEM fields. According to the District, most GATE students have goals and services for both areas.
According to a District administrator, Navajo-serving schools do not have GATE teachers. The administrator states: "The problem is that GATE teachers are based in town because there are more students here. They only travel to remote schools to develop the IEP and provide remote assistance to regular education teachers. There is little to no direct GATE instruction to Navajo-serving schools…" The administrator believes the remote schools need GATE teachers and AP teachers so that students can receive direct instruction that is more effective than computer courses. In staff surveys, teachers expressed that the District schools on the reservation receive limited resources. One teacher notes: "The GATE program is disproportionately represented by students who live in-town and not on the reservation."
Elementary school programming: Elementary schools are served by a GATE teacher at least one day per week, irrespective of the number of GATE students. The GATE teacher serves most grades K-3 gifted students for approximately 1.5 hours per day, and serves most 4th and 5th grade gifted students for approximately 3 hours per day. The balance of the teachers' time is spent on individual student planning, collaboration and consultation with general education teachers, and the gifted child find process. Students who are newly identified, or whose talents are latent, frequently receive 0.5-1.5 hours of pull-out service designed to transition the student into GATE. This service is mostly composed of thinking skills instruction, and scaffolding towards critical and scientific thinking. Elementary students in their second and later years of service experience a more extensive pull-out program in humanities, language arts, math, science, and social studies curriculum units.
Participation in advanced coursework (honors, AP) is recommended for all gifted students who demonstrate advanced aptitude or achievement in a curricular area. The EDT (consisting of a general education teacher, gifted education teacher, site administrator, parent, and the student) makes the decision to place or not place a student in these classes. Gifted education programming at the elementary level is aligned with the intent of preparing gifted students for advanced middle school coursework.
- School Programming: At the middle school level, general education teachers co-teach with gifted education teachers. GATE teacher strengths such as subject area endorsement and real-world experiences, acceleration options at the locations such as accelerated and grouped courses or concurrent enrollment, and pooled student needs and interests such as language development or art may guide service design. Single-subject acceleration in math, GATE-taught math and science elective and core courses, and/or grouped, accelerated, GATE-supported science and math courses may be selected by middle schools to meet their students' advanced STEM needs.
For SY 2013-14, the middle schools in the District identified American Indian students as Gifted at a higher overall percentage than the elementary schools for the same year. All of the schools were close to the 5% goal, either a few points above or below (with the lowest being Thoreau Middle at 3.67%). However, White students were identified at a much higher percentage and consistently exceed the 5% goal. For example, Gallup Middle School and Thoreau Middle School identified White students as gifted at more than triple the rate of American Indian students identified as gifted, and those schools have nine honors or advanced courses. The middle schools which are predominately American Indian and do not have any Caucasian students (Crownpoint Middle, Navajo Middle, and Tohatchi Middle) identify students at a rate close to the 5% goal, but these schools offer fewer Honors courses (Crownpoint has one Honors or advanced course, Navajo has three, Tohatchi has two). Gifted education programming at the middle school level is aligned to prepare students for high school AP courses.
High School Programming: In High School, gifted students can elect to take AP or Honors courses with the help of their EDT in making placement decisions. GATE teacher strengths such as subject area endorsement and real-world experiences, acceleration options at the locations (such as AP and Honors courses or concurrent enrollment with local colleges), and pooled student needs and interests (such as post-secondary transition or foreign language) may guide service design. The District reported that beginning with SY 2006-07, it offered at least one honors or similarly academically rigorous class in both math and language arts in each high school. However, at the beginning of this review we found that only one high school had these services. AP courses are offered on a site-by-site basis – some schools have just a few, others have more. A .5 hour-per-day mentoring course is frequently used to meet transition and thinking skills goals. For students who are far beyond the regular curriculum, independent study, seminars, and online classes may be offered.
- three District GATE coordinators interviewed on March 3, 2016 advised us that the District needs additional funds to incentivize GATE teachers to work at the schools located on the reservation which are a great distance from Gallup. An additional challenge is that teachers who do not already possess the required endorsements for teaching gifted and AP courses must pay for it out-of-pocket; the District does not currently pay for those endorsements. Another related challenge identified by the coordinators is that even if the District did pay for the endorsements, the District would have no way of retaining these teachers to stay at the remote schools, many of which are located on reservations. Three GATE teachers were hired this year to work at one cluster of schools and each one left before the end of the school year. We were also informed that online classes are used more at schools located on the reservation than in the schools located close to Gallup due to the difficulty of getting instructors to work at these schools. The Coordinators did point out that the current Superintendent is really pushing for offering more live classes in the remote, reservation schools. To that end, the Superintendent increased staffing allocations for Gifted teachers at all District schools for school year 2015-2016 in an effort to build capacity for GATE and AP and Honors course offerings. The District offered housing as an incentive as well as signing bonuses to attract Gifted teachers. The District went from 15 to 25 GATE teachers District-wide in SY 2015-16.
While AP and honor classes are available online to students throughout the District, it has become especially critical for those remote, reservation schools where it is difficult to recruit and retain qualified/endorsed teachers. For example, during our interview with the District Coordinators on March 3, 2016, we learned that there is a 9th grade student at Navajo HS who has already completed every math credit available to him at that High School. This included AP online course offerings currently available for Navajo HS (located on a reservation) students. The District is not sure it can enroll him in a dual credit college course yet (usually for 11th or 12th grade students) and getting him to Gallup which is about a 50 mile commute presents a challenge for the student and the District.
In an effort to provide more accessible programming for students located at remote/on-reservation schools the District has reached out to Northwestern University and Purdue University to see if those institutions are willing to partner and provide some online courses. To date, they have had some success when, for example, Purdue University's Gifted Education Resource Institute made room for two students in the summer of 2015 through an online learning environment.
For SY 2013-2014, the identification rate for American Indian gifted students within the high schools varies. The schools which are predominately American Indian identify at lower rates: Crownpoint at 3.07%, Tohatchi at 2.92%, Navajo Pine at 3.28%, and Thoreau High at 1.92%. Conversely, the schools in the District with lower American Indian populations identify both American Indian and White students at higher percentages. Gallup High, Miyamura High, Ramah High, and Thoreau High identify White students at a rate three times higher than American Indian students and much higher than the 5% identification goal.
Evaluating the GATE Program
The GATE Coordinator stated that a 2004 program review noted that GATE services needed improvement. Identification protocols were revised, training in identification of GATE eligible students was provided to teachers, audits for compliance were developed, and an implementation plan was developed to revitalize GATE services.
The District provided us with a list of GATE program concerns and recommendations for improvement, based on its annual internal review of the program from SY 2004-05 through SY 2013-14. Generally, the District recognized that there was disproportionality ("too few American Indian students") and that teachers needed training on identification and referral of students for gifted testing. For the two most recent years of the internal evaluation (SY 2011-12 and 2013-14), the District recognized that: referrals are most disproportionate for non-sweep grades (other than grade 3); teachers have difficulty identifying creativity; testing bias is non-significant but present for American Indian students, and significant and negative for English learner students; and 14% fewer American Indian students were tested in 2012-13 than should have been.
The District's proposed follow-up actions based on its internal evaluation included, through the years, training teachers to reduce bias in referral and identification, and improving the FTAP screening tool. For the two most recent years of the internal evaluation (SY 2011-12 and 2013-14), the District committed to follow-up actions, including: Train new teachers to reduce bias in referral and identification; teachers of gifted students must directly refer highly creative students; study use of achievement scores adjusted for American Indian status as well as free and reduced lunch and ELL status; use home liaisons to obtain permission to test; provide information about programming to parents; use American Indian comparison group to refer students based on achievement; and over-refer American Indian students for testing.
GATE Coordinators report meeting with the Indian Education Committee, parents, students, and teachers about the GATE program, although these meetings are not consistent or widely attended. The District also has a Gifted Advisory Committee composed of parents, community members, students, and school staff members. According to the District, the membership of the Gifted Advisory committee is required to reflect the cultural diversity of the school district, and, if more fully utilized, allows parents to meet with District staff during the school year to discuss GATE program satisfaction and related improvements.
District staff members surveyed provided the following recommendations to OCR and DOJ for increasing American Indian students' participation in the District's GATE program and AP and honors classes:
- Honors and Advanced Placement Courses
Coordination and Notice
There are no District-wide recruitment efforts for its Honors and Advanced Placement courses. The District does not have a Districtwide coordinator regarding Honors and Advanced Placement courses. The District does not publicize information about participating in the classes, other than including AP and Honors course offerings in school course catalogs. School administrators reported: they emphasize to students and their families that AP classes offer a more challenging curriculum that will better prepare students for the rigors of college reading and writing; AP and Honors courses are discussed at registration days and at various meetings; and administrators and counselors steer new students to these classes if it seems appropriate or there is a particular student interest. School counselors and teachers provided the following individual responses when asked how students and parents are informed about Honors and AP classes: not sure; notes and letters to parents, email messages, and telephone calls; GATE and classroom teachers inform them; home visits; exposure to peers in the program; invitations to Gifted Advisory meetings for parents; conversations about class scheduling with school counselors and principals; and "all classes, including Honors and AP, are on the school's registering system and students have access to all of the classes available."
Eligibility and Participation
There is no District-wide eligibility criteria for participating in Honors classes at the middle school level. Responses on how a student is placed into Honors classes ranged from one or a few of the following reasons: being identified as Gifted in elementary school; demonstrating high achievement (grades or standardized test score information); determination by an EDT/IEP team; self, parent, or teacher recommendation; or "if a student generally shows the ability to be successful." One school did not have eligibility criteria. Not all of the middle schools had honors or advanced classes.
There is a wide range in GATE and honors programming and course offerings at the District's various middle schools. For example, one school's GATE programming includes: Case management, co-teaching and consult support, and Philosophy and Debate electives. Its advanced or honors course offerings include: 6th grade Adv. Math, Pre-Algebra, and Adv. English; 7th grade Adv. Math, Algebra I, Science, and Adv. English; 8th grade Algebra I, Geometry, Science, and Adv. English. Another middle school's GATE programming is described as: A combination of inclusion-based services where special education teachers support differentiation in the core classes through consult and direct instruction in order to provide advanced academic challenges. Students in the GATE program also receive direct instruction from special education teachers in a pull-out setting focusing on creative thinking and problem solving activities; and its advanced or honors course offerings include: Advanced Language Arts 7 and 8, Advanced Math, Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1, Advanced New Mexico History 7 and US History 8, Advanced Science 7 and 8, GATE Mentoring. In contrast, other middle schools offer less description about their GATE programming and with respect to advanced or honors courses, one middle school offers two such courses, one middle school offers just one, and another offers zero advanced or honors courses.
Five of the nine District high schools did not have AP classes during SY 2010-11. By SY 2013-14, six of the nine high schools in the District offered at least one AP course. The three schools that did not offer AP classes are Tohatchi HS (with a 99% American Indian student population), Gallup Central HS (the District's alternative high school, with an 87% American Indian student population), and Navajo Pine HS (86% American Indian student population, and located on the Navajo reservation). District data shows an increase across all races in students taking AP courses. The overall participation in AP and Honors increased from SY 2009-10 to SY 2012-13, which could be attributed to the State requiring all students entering 9th grade in 2009-2010 and beyond to take at least one Honors, AP, Dual-Credit, or Distance Learning course to graduate from high school. For SY 2013-14, 317 American Indian students took at least one AP course. In 2013-2014, Tohatchi High School and Gallup Central High were the only high schools in the District without an Honors Program.
- Analysis
The Title VI disparate impact regulations state (in part) that a recipient may not "utilize criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination because of their race, color or national origin…" See 34 C.F.R. § 100.3(b)(2). A recipient who employs a facially neutral procedure or practice that has a disparate racial impact and lacks a substantial legitimate justification for this result violates Title VI. Thus, in disparate impact cases, OCR must establish whether there has been a disproportionate denial of opportunity to benefit from a program and determine if this is due to a neutral policy, process, or practice. If any disproportionate denial of opportunity results from a neutral policy, process, or practice, OCR will assess whether the recipient's policy, process, or practice is educationally necessary and determine if a less discriminatory alternative exists. If the evidence does not establish that the policy, procedure, or practice is necessary to meet an important educational goal, then it must be eliminated. Even if the policy, procedure, or practice is determined to be necessary, discrimination may still be occurring if there is a less discriminatory alternative that the recipient does not use that would meet the recipient's important educational goal.
Here, it appears that although the District's policy and practices with respect to its GATE program and honors and AP courses are facially neutral, the large disparity between the number of American Indian students enrolled in the District and the number of American Indian students who participate in the District's GATE program and honors and AP courses demonstrates there is a disproportionate denial of opportunity for American Indian students. To the District's credit, it recognized the disparity on its own and proactively took steps to improve the opportunities for American Indian students to participate in the GATE program and honors and AP courses prior to the initiation of this compliance review. Unfortunately, the District's efforts have not been sufficient to narrow the considerable gap in participation. Prior to OCR and DOJ reaching findings in this review, the District expressed a willingness to voluntarily enter into an Agreement with OCR and DOJ in an effort to continue its efforts to improve its participation rates for American Indian students. Based on the history of the District's efforts in this area, we believe the District's interest in improving is genuine. Further, we believe that the Agreement that was reached with the District on February 14, 2017, will support the District in its efforts to effectively eliminate the disproportionate denial of opportunity for American Indian students.
- Communication with LEP parents
According to the Department's Civil Rights Data Collection (2009-10), the District enrolled 3,747 limited-English proficient (LEP) students. Among the languages that LEP parents speak are Navajo (several District schools are located on the Navajo reservation) and other American Indian languages.
The District uses a variety of methods to communicate about its GATE program and honors and AP classes. The information is disseminated to parents and students in various ways, including in written form and during IEP meetings. The GATE Coordinator states that information about GATE testing is posted in the schools and sent home with identified students, but is not sent out to parents. The District's Associate Superintendent, who oversees the GATE program, states that there are no community liaisons who inform LEP parents about the program, but coordinators periodically hold meetings to inform parents about the GATE program. A GATE coordinator for several schools stated that the District has quarterly parent meetings for those interested in the gifted program, the District announces GATE recruitments on local radio stations, and there are posted notices at the schools regarding the identification of gifted students. Nonetheless, the coordinator expressed the need for more parent outreach. The Coordinator identified a need to hold more recruitment meetings in communities outside the city of Gallup, and admits that recruitment efforts are better in town than in the more rural schools. Several teachers who were surveyed expressed the need for increased notice about the programs, particularly in the American Indian communities. The District's special education director stated that the District notifies parents of Gifted advisory meetings through media press releases in English, and that at the meetings the program services are discussed. The press releases do not discuss GATE identification or program services. The District's parent permission forms for GATE testing is in English only, and the parent interview forms are in English only. If an interpreter is needed, the District has Spanish-speaking and Navajo-speaking staff who can assist.
District staff members surveyed provided the following recommendations to OCR for increasing American Indian students' participation in the District's GATE program and AP and honors classes, all requiring meaningful notice to parents about the programs and classes:
- District's Associate Superintendent who oversees the GATE program states there are no community liaisons who inform LEP parents about the program, but coordinators periodically hold meetings to inform parents about the GATE program. The GATE Coordinator for five elementary schools and two secondary schools stated that the District has quarterly parent meetings for those interested in the gifted program, the District announces GATE recruitments on local radio stations, and there are posted notices at the schools regarding the identification of gifted students. He expressed the need for more parent outreach. He wants to hold more recruitment meetings in communities outside the city of Gallup, and he admits that recruitment efforts are better in town than in the more rural schools. Several teachers who were surveyed expressed that increased notice about the programs is needed, particularly in the Indian communities.
With regard to this issue, the District similarly requested to voluntarily enter into an Agreement with OCR and DOJ to resolve the concerns. We believe that the remedies in the Agreement will help the District to communicate effectively with all parents as the District makes effort to improve access to its GATE programs and Honors and AP classes. Further, we believe that the District's efforts to communicate meaningfully with LEP parents in a language they understand will help to increase American Indian students' participation in these programs and classes.
- Resolution Agreement
Pursuant to the Agreement, the District committed to take specific actions to ensure that it is providing an equal opportunity and equal access for all students, including American Indian students, to its advanced and higher level learning opportunities. The Agreement provides that the District will take the following actions:
OCR and DOJ will monitor the District's implementation of the terms of the Agreement. If the District fails to comply with the terms of the Agreement, OCR and DOJ will take appropriate action to ensure the District's full compliance with Title VI and its implementing regulation.
This concludes OCR and DOJ's investigation of this compliance review and should not be interpreted to address the District's compliance with any other regulatory provision or to address any issues other than those addressed in this letter. This letter sets forth our determination in one compliance review. This letter is not a formal statement of OCR policy and should not be relied upon, cited, or construed as such. OCR's formal policy statements are approved by a duly authorized OCR official and made available to the public.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, it may be necessary to release this document and related correspondence and records upon request. If OCR receives such a request, we will protect personal information to the extent provided by law.
It is unlawful to harass, coerce, intimidate or discriminate against any individual who has filed a complaint, assisted in a compliance review, or participated in actions to secure protected rights.
Thank you for the District's cooperation during the investigation of this compliance review.

[1] Prior to the 2015-2016 school year the District tested the top 30% of its 3rd graders, but increased the number to 50% in an effort to increase the number of American Indian students identified as gifted.
[2] The HOPE scale, created at Purdue University, is designed to aid in the identification of gifted students.
[3] The Characteristics of Giftedness Scale was designed by psychologist Linda Silverman. The list of descriptors has been used to predict performance in the superior and gifted ranges of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, WISC-III, and other standardized intelligence tests. It was designed for parents to answer questions about their children, and was developed as a result of research findings and clinical observations. The list has 25 descriptors, such as good problem solving/reasoning abilities, rapid learning ability, extensive vocabulary, etc. If a child demonstrates more than three-fourths of the traits, it is likely that he or she is gifted.
[4] OCR noted that the District requested referrals for 50% of the third grade students during the 2015-2016 school year.

City Center's community-affairs mission is to revitalize Downtown Allentown and its surrounding neighborhoods into a sustainable vibrant urban community.
City Center and its affiliates believe we can make the greatest impact by concentrating our support - financial, in-kind donations and volunteer service - in Downtown Allentown. Our philanthropy focuses on three key results-oriented areas: the arts, community development and education.
Arts: A rich arts environment helps ensure a high quality of life for all citizens and provides economic vitality and educational opportunities to our community. City Center is committed to connecting our downtown neighborhoods with Allentown's great art institutions.
Community Development: City Center is committed to strengthening our neighborhoods by partnering in comprehensive strategies that create a strong economic base in downtown and enable businesses to come here, start here and flourish here. Part of this includes community partners focused on housing rehabilitation to empower downtown's residents and enhance their quality of life.
Education: City Center is committed to enhancing educational opportunities for our residents in Downtown Allentown. We know the foundation of revitalizing our neighborhoods starts with education.
Our top community-affairs priorities are our continued partnership with Central Elementary School, our community-entrepreneurship initiative called The Real Estate Lab, and our joint initiative to support local children and parents in need through The Learning Hub and its "Neighborhood Resource Center".

In October of 2022, City Center and Community Services for Children (CSC) announced they will expand their innovative space in Allentown to create "CSC Downtown," a one-stop shop for the many services vulnerable families need to succeed. In addition, Valley Health Partners Community Health Center (VHP) agreed to increase its space in the same building. Together, CSC and VHP will form a one-of-a-kind center to provide early childhood education, healthcare, and social services to local children and families in need, in one convenient neighborhood location. CSC, which currently runs The Learning Hub and the Neighborhood Resource Center in the City Center-owned building at 6th and Linden streets, and VHP hope to make a long-term, positive impact on more of Allentown's disadvantaged through CSC Downtown.
"As a safety-net healthcare provider, Valley Health Partners Community Health Center is thrilled to be working with City Center to expand access to convenient, affordable medical, mental health, vision, and dental care for the most vulnerable people in downtown Allentown. We believe everyone deserves high-quality, culturally sensitive healthcare, and City Center is playing a critical role in expanding our reach and serving our community."
Veronica Gonzalez, MBA, Chief Executive Officer
The Real Estate Lab, a free program designed by City Center and Lafayette College to teach downtown Allentown residents how to invest in and manage real estate in their own community, made great strides in 2022. Twenty-seven graduates of the program have purchased a total of more than $4 million in downtown properties since the Lab launched in 2020. Through a new partnership with Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), participants who complete the Lab program are now able to earn college credits. Lastly, The Real Estate Lab became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, allowing donations to the program to be made tax-free. These positive steps all support the Lab's goal to give local residents access to the training, resources, and capital to become successful real estate entrepreneurs.

Looking after your home can sometimes be challenging, especially if you need more experience repairing and maintaining it. But with the right knowledge and tools, you can easily tackle any repair that comes your way. Some of these tips may seem like common sense, but it's always a good idea to review them periodically to ensure you're doing everything you can to protect your home. Here are the eight most important repair tips every homeowner needs to know.
1. How to Handle Foundation Repairs
Your home's foundation is one of its most important structural components, so it's essential to ensure that any cracks or other problems are promptly repaired. Some common issues that may arise with a home's foundation include cracked walls, uneven floors, and leaky pipes.
If you notice any of these issues with your home's foundation, it's important to call a professional repair technician immediately. They can assess the damage and fix any problems to ensure that your home is structurally sound and safe for your family. Additionally, regular inspections by a professional can help prevent any major issues.
When choosing a repair technician, looking for a reputable company with experienced professionals is important. You should also ask about their foundation repair service quotes and any guarantees or warranties they offer. This will help ensure you get the best possible service for your home and budget. With the right resources and knowledge, you can easily handle foundation repairs.
2. How to Tackle Clogged Drains and Pipes
Clogged drains and pipes are one of the most common but frustrating problems for homeowners. If left unresolved, clogs can lead to serious damage to your property. Knowing how to tackle them is an important part of home maintenance.
You have to identify the source of the clog first. You can use a drain auger or plumbing snake to poke through any debris blocking the pipes. If this doesn't work, you can pour boiling water down your drains and forcefully plunge to dislodge any blockages. The key is to be persistent and use a method that works for you.
3. Fixing Leaky Faucets and Pipes
Leaks in pipes and faucets are another common problem that can be frustrating to repair, especially if you need the right tools or knowledge. Various issues, including damaged seals and gaskets, loose hose connections, and worn-out O-rings, cause them.
One of the easiest ways to fix leaks is by replacing the old, worn-out parts with new ones. You can find these replacement parts at your local hardware store or online. Before making any purchases, look at your faucets and pipes to determine which parts are causing the leaks.
Another option is to apply some Teflon tape or plumbing putty around the joints of your pipes and faucets, which can help seal any leaks that may be present. Be sure to use tight-fitting rubber gloves while doing this, as these substances can be harmful if they get on your skin.
4. Maintaining and Repair Your HVAC System
Your home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is another important component that requires regular maintenance and repair. Some common problems that may arise with an HVAC system include clogged filters, strange noises coming from the unit, or inconsistent temperatures throughout your home.
To handle these issues, you should start by replacing your HVAC system's clogged filters with new ones. This can help improve your unit's efficiency and performance, saving you money on your energy bills. You should also pay attention to the sound from your unit when it's running, as any strange noises could signal something wrong.
5. Handling Kitchen Appliance Repairs
Kitchen appliances are an essential part of any home, but they can also be a source of frustration if they break down or stop working properly. Some common issues that may arise with kitchen appliances include clogged or overflowing dishwashers, broken garbage disposals, and faulty stovetops.
If you notice any of these problems, you should first check to ensure that the appliance is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If these solutions don't work, it's best to call a professional repair technician who can diagnose and fix any appliance issues.
6. Handling Outdoor Maintenance Tasks
The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior, but it can also be more challenging to maintain. Homeowners' common outdoor maintenance tasks include mowing the lawn, trimming bushes and trees, cleaning and repairing gutters, and repainting or caulking any cracks in your exterior walls.
Just like with indoor repairs and maintenance, it's important to stay on top of outdoor tasks to keep your home in good condition. You can either hire a professional landscaping or handyman service to perform these repairs or do them yourself if you have the right tools and knowledge.
7. Repainting Your Home's Exterior
Repainting your home's exterior every few years is an important part of home maintenance. Not only can a fresh coat of paint help protect your walls and siding from the elements, but it can also go a long way in improving the overall look of your property.
If you are planning to repaint your home's exterior, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's important to choose the right paint and color for your home and the right tools and techniques. This will help you achieve a polished, professional look that can last for years.
8. Cleaning Your Gutters
Cleaning your gutters regularly is another important task that many homeowners overlook. Clogged or overflowing gutters can lead to several problems, such as roof leaks, pest infestations, and foundation damage.
To clean your gutters, you'll need the right tools and equipment. This typically includes a ladder, garden hose with a spray nozzle, buckets, and gloves. You may also need a gutter scoop or brush to remove debris from the gutters. Once your supplies are ready, you can begin cleaning the gutters by hand or using a gutter vacuum system.
Whether you're facing a small repair or a major maintenance task, there are certain steps you can take to make these repairs easier. By doing your research, having the right tools and materials on hand, and enlisting a professional's help, you can confidently tackle any repair or maintenance task. So don't wait – start working on those repairs today.

OPINION-COLUMN: MEDIA JOURNALIST – ANALYSIS: So you wanna be a 'journalist'?
SEAN Hannity and Alex Jones, two men who pick at American journalism the way small birds peck at the carcass of a pig, are both in legal trouble.
Myself, after 34 years as a reporter and columnist, I do not use the word "journalist" if I can stop myself in time. I believe in the crippled, nicotine-stained stained old newsroom joke which sayeth, "A 'journalist' is an out-of-work reporter."
Alex Jones, who told a blood-smeared lie about dead children, will be dragged into court, to recant and apologize, as he has done before. Hannity, like Bill O'Reilly before him, will show you the great big lies a tough American individualist will tell just to hang on to the job, the fine suits and the makeup artist.
Neither one of these spider monkeys had any reason to be called a "reporter," both of them being much closer to the homemade, hillbilly, gun-rights-for-Christ podcaster than to someone whose editor frequently says to him, "Do you have a source for this story?"
Ah, but sources are so yesterday. They belong to the newsroom of green metal desks and speckled linoleum flooring.
I am, of course, a columnist, both syndicated and for The Herald News, the newspaper of record in Fall River, Massachusetts. In the last few weeks, I've covered a recognition event for Vietnam veterans, a house fire and an event encouraging people to donate their organs after death.
For those who want to get a little closer to the pig's carcass the commentary birds are pecking, here's how to make yourself a reporter.
Get a newspaper job. Get a job on a newspaper run by people who actively discourage reporters from becoming celebrities.
Cover small-town or city politics. Listen to three-hour debates over the purchase of a stop sign, and where to place that stop sign.
Write the stop sign story and get a call the next day from an angry elderly woman, a lifelong resident of the town, who is incensed that you referred to the stop sign's location as "Holmes Road," when everyone knows it's "Holmes Street." Write a correction.
Carry a waterproof jacket in the backseat of your car in case you're at an outside assignment and it starts to rain.
Learn that everyone lies sometime, but it doesn't make you smart if you think everyone is lying all the time. They're not.
Interview the mother or father of a murder victim within 24 hours of the killing. Reporters call this "the death knock."
Know as many people as you can. Make sure most of them are not politicians.
At least once, get someone's blood on you. I attended a car vs. motorcycle crash and stepped in some of the victim's blood. "Look down," a cop said to me as I left the scene. "You're leaving tracks."
Hang out with, sleep with or know at least a few people who are criminals, illiterates, ex-convicts, welfare recipients, immigrants, legal or illegal, or minimum-wage workers. The poor and troubled are not social causes, nor are they leeches or scum. They're people. You can dislike them, but you can't refuse to learn what they have to teach.
You are not God. The editor is not God. Conservatives aren't God, and neither are liberals. Republicans and Democrats are not God. The readers are not God.
Truth is God.
Dion's latest book, The Land of Trumpin, is a collection of his columns written before, during and after the last presidential election. It is available in paperback from Amazon.com, and for Kindle, Nook, iBooks and GooglePlay.

Leeds and Ireland legend discusses Manchester United and Liverpool as well as the Champions League
John Giles feels Manchester United should wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer permanently.
Solskjaer will lead his in-form team against Liverpool on Sunday. Since he took charge as interim manager, the club have lost only once. That came against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last week.
Otherwise, Man United are back in contention for the Top Four and are into the FA Cup quarter-finals.
But while there is a clamour to appoint Solskjaer from some quarters, John is not so sure.
"He's done everything that's asked of him," said John of the Norwegian.
"I would wait until the end of the season to make a decision on it because there's some tests to go yet.
"He came in at the right time with the fixtures. The fixture list was very, very good and he's had a couple of hard ones which he's dealt with very well. So I would hold my judgement on it."
On the Man United vs Liverpool game, John's prediction is a 1-1 draw.
But on the European front, he backs Liverpool to complete the task against Bayern Munich. The Reds drew 0-0 at Anfield before heading for the second leg in Munich.
"I think Liverpool are in with a chance. Bayern Munich haven't taken advantage of the away goals, so Liverpool get one, Bayern need two to beat them," he said.
"They're well in with a chance."
And he is not ruling them out of going all the way in the Champions League.
"They're capable of winning it. They're also capable of winning the league which is the other thing," he said.
"So are Manchester City. But if they play as well as they can, I wouldn't write them off in either of the competitions."
You can watch the full chat with John on the video player above.

If it court was bringing jurisdiction from inside the Admiralty, upcoming, pursuant in order to section 3-501 of the UCC, (Presentment), the fresh prosecutor will receive zero issue placing the newest [alleged] package to your research, in order for I ine and you may [possibly] difficulties the new legitimacy of your offer
ADMIRALTY Courts Why they cannot call-it Admiralty Legislation is actually that your particular coverage might possibly be slightly different for the Admiralty Jurisdiction from their protection under the Common-law.

They will have to know the global bankers very own brand new entire nation, and this we're the submissives.

How come they will not need certainly to tell everyone which they individual things are that there are nevertheless way too many yourself possessed guns. Discover uncooperative armies or any other army pushes. Thus up until they're able to gradually combine every armies with the a scene Military and all process of law for the one Industry Legal, that isn't expedient to help you acknowledge the fresh new jurisdiction the fresh new process of law is actually operating not as much as.
No courtroom have Admiralty/Maritime Legislation unless of course there is certainly a valid worldwide coastal price one to might have been broken
When we see these materials, we know there exists particular gifts they will not must acknowledge, and we are able to use which to our work with.
Common-law is based on God's law. Whenever someone try recharged under the Common-law, there has to be a destroyed team. You are free according to the Common law to complete anything you please, if you don't infringe into existence, liberty, otherwise possessions of somebody more. You may have a right to create a fool away from oneself provided that you do not infringe toward lifetime, independence, or property of somebody otherwise.

How to Unlock Jeep Cherokee with Keys Inside: 13 Easy Steps to Follow
Forgetting keys while locking the car is the most common mistake we make. Also, not every Jeep Cherokee has the fob lock. And that makes the keys a must-have tool to unlock the car. So, it would be helpful to know how to unlock a Jeep Cherokee with keys inside.
The Uconnect app unlocks cars without keys. However, if you don't have a subscription to the app, you can follow multiple ways. A screwdriver, wrench, credit card, or even a bolt cutter can unlock the lock of a Jeep Cherokee.
Read to know the most useful ways of unlocking Jeep Cherokee without keys. Also, you'll get some valuable tips regarding the topic at the end.
How to Unlock Jeep Cherokee with Keys Inside?
Unlocking the car without keys requires some tools. But, not in every situation can you get those tools around. So, apply these 13 following techniques according to your situation.
Call a Locksmith
Calling a locksmith is the first thing you can do if you have enough time. It'll be easy and a smart way to move. According to your vehicle model and the locksmith's travel distance, the labor cost will be 50 to 100 dollars max.
Use a Tennis Ball
It may sound crazy, but the tennis ball trick often works. For this, you have to find a tennis ball and make a circular hole in it. Then adjust the gap to the door's keyhole and push the tennis ball. It'll create suction to depress the unlock button.
Try with a Hammer
Hammer can damage the master lock, but it's an effective way to go if you have no other choices. To do this, tap the door lock with a hammer until it comes off. Then unscrew the door panel and get access to the door's inside.
Trunk Access
Getting access to the trunk isn't the easiest way though it works successfully. But you can do this if you follow the guide carefully.
Get yourself a hanger or a thin rod. Then remove the license plate that's underneath the trunk. Now get access to the trunk latch using the rod or the hanger.
Slim Jim Tool
The Slim Jim trick will bring no damage to your Jeep Cherokee. It's the safest way to open the car lock. The tool has a sharp edge that you can use to wedge into the door jam. Then pump the bladder, reach the door lock and open it.
Access Soft Top
If your Jeep Cherokee has a soft top, you better get access to it. Use a thin metal to find a space over there. Once you discover an opening, get inside the car and unlock it.
Break the Window
It's probably the last option to apply. When you have no choice, you can go for it. To break the window, find a rock or any hard tool. Smash hard to the window and break it. Then get inside the car and open the lock.
Follow the Credit Card Trick
The credit card strategy is something that we see in the movies. To follow the trick, you have to use your credit card on the spring lock. Put the card between the frame and the lock and push it down. Then pull the card up against the frame. Doing this it'll create a force for the lock to open.
Use a Tension Wrench
Wiggling a tension wrench often opens the Jeep Cherokee car lock. But you have to twist it in the right place. Mark the keyhole accurately, take a rake and put it there. Now twirl the rake while pushing and pulling the rock. If you do things properly, the lock will open.
Apply Airbags
Airbags can be used to unlock the Jeep Cherokee lock. Put these bags on the upper side of the doors and start to pump them. Stop pumping when there's a 2 inches gap left. And pump it slowly; otherwise, the glass may break down.
Now put a thin metal or slick on that 2 inches gap and try to press the lock button. You can also tie a wire with the U-shaped hook in the metal and try to unhook the lock.
Try with a Thin Rod or Hook
It's a tricky way and only recommended when there's no way. A thin rod or a hook can be applied to unlock the Jeep Cherokee. Put one of these things between the glass and the door and try to open it. Yet, be careful about the scratch you may make.
Use a Screwdriver
Put a screwdriver on the hole where your car keys go. Now thrust the screwdriver in and out by wiggling it. Make sure you aren't doing it in any rush. Just move the screwdriver's blade back and forth slowly with a jiggle and open the door.
Screwdriver and a Cloth Hanger
A cloth hanger and a screwdriver will get the things done. Insert the screwdriver into the door jam, and try to open the door to a minimum. Once you get some space, put something in to keep the door ajar. Then use the hook of the cloth hanger and unlock the door.
Cutting off Jeep Cherokee Padlocks with Bolt Cutters
Several Jeep Cherokees come with padlocks. And if you're in a situation without keys, you may have to cut open the lock. For this, a 24 inches bolt cutter is something you'll need. Take a look at the process below.
- Grab the padlock and face it right to you.
- Locate the U-shaped lock.
- Now place the bolt cutter on the right side of the lock.
- Put enough pressure on the cutter and cut the padlock. The adequate force will break the lock instantly.
[Note: High-Quality Fobs require 36 inches of bolt cutters.]
How to Unlock Jeep Cherokee with Keys Inside Via Uconnect
The New Jeep Cherokee model features an app named Uconnect. If you have it, you can unlock the car using your phone. There won't be any need for keys.
- Open your phone and turn the data on.
- Take a subscription to the Uconnect app.
- Find the option named unlock.
- Click the option, and your car door will open. Easy peasy.
Some Important Tips to be Ready for the Situation

Most jeep owners make a mistake by locking the cars with keys inside. So, it's better to be prepared if the situation comes. Here are a few tips you should know.
- Always keep a spare key for your car lock.
- Check that spare key every time you leave the car.

What To Look For? Our Guide!
Due to the popularity of online bingo, many brands have invested heavily in their mobile operations over the last few years, leading to a surge of highly useable and aesthetically pleasing apps. When playing at a mobile bingo site or app, we recommend that you consider the following information:
Bingo Games Choice
First and foremost, you have to check out the variety of bingo games provided. Leading sites will provide a massive range of 75, 80 and 90-ball bingo, with bustling bingo rooms and chat. For this reason, most players enjoy playing at the larger sites as there is always something going on, whether it's the vibrant chat room or a big jackpot to play for. These larger sites have a better sense of community, giving you a chance to talk to friends in the chat and just generally enjoy a more social gaming experience.
Likewise, it's not just the choice of bingo games, it's the stakes and the jackpots. Our favourite bingo sites cater to players of all budgets, offering penny bingo rooms, as well as bingo games for larger stakes.
Slots Selection
On top of this, although bingo games are the meat and potatoes of a bingo app, many players also enjoy a good variation of slots and casino games (such as Blackjack and Roulette). A leading app will have all of these listed right from the lobby, making navigating through the many different games super easy. The best bingo apps feature partnerships with leading software providers and give you access to hundreds (often thousands) of games. You will never get bored!
Easy Of Use
But what good is a great game selection if the app is actually awful to use? No one likes a slow or glitchy app, on top of that, useability is paramount. To put it in perspective, some of the first bingo apps to be released were not user-friendly, were not intuitive and just made the whole bingo experience, slow, boring, clunky and just a general headache. I am pleased to say though, the industry has changed and the operators have invested heavily in their mobile offerings so these bugs are largely a thing of the past.
App Size and Speed
In today's modern age, we all have so many apps on our phones and they are stored up with photos and other downloadables. Additionally, no one wants to download something that will slow their phone devices down or take up too much space. For this reason, one of the factors we consider when giving a review score is how fast the bingo app is, along with how bulky and clunky the software is.
Web Version
Not all bingo sites provide a mobile app, some just have a mobile version that you can access through your standard web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc). This may put off some players but we urge you to not write off a website if it comes with a web-only version. As time has gone on, the latest HTML5 technology has made web apps more feature reach and to be honest, on par with some mobile bingo apps. For example, leading sites like Butlers Bingo do not feature a downloadable app but provide a great gaming experience nonetheless.
Real Customer Ratings
Unavoidably, the players know best! That is why, although we view the bingo apps ourselves and form our own opinion, it largely aligns with the players themselves. Both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store give users the chance to rate each individual app themselves and give their opinion/review on such. Common complaints such as bugs, slowness, difficulty depositing/withdrawing and glitchy games are all taken seriously by our team and affect our rankings.
Deposit and Payment Options
How easy a bingo website is to deposit and withdraw money from is important. Some sites allow you to pay via your mobile phone bill or PAYG balance, this is becoming pretty popular. Likewise, other payment methods such as Visa and Mastercard debit card deposits are pretty much mandatory.
The speed of deposits and withdrawals is also important. Some of the bingo sites mentioned provide 'faster withdrawals' which means that your winnings can be back in your account within hours, obviously, this is a huge plus. Additionally, some e-wallet options such as PayPal, Paysafecard, Neteller, Skrill or Apple Pay are also of benefit.
Exclusive Mobile Bonuses
This is not standard but some operators do provide exclusive mobile-only promotions and rewards. It's worth checking out the 'promotions' page on every website and see if there are any additional bingo bonuses provided if you decide to play bingo using your phone, compared to on a desktop or tablet such as an iPad. Alongside that, it's not uncommon to see exclusive bingo rooms, only for mobile players, so keep your eyes peeled!
Customer Service and Support
Some bingo apps give you the chance to talk with customer support directly through the app. Whether it's through a live chat helper or providing a convenient email that you can contact, this is definitely a plus and all reputable companies provide this feature or a similar method of getting in touch.
Account Verification
One thing to look out for is the account verification procedure. Some companies can get a great deal of information from you, just by verifying your email address and mobile phone. With that said, as per British regulation, you will likely need to send in documentation at some point, which includes a form of ID verification. Most of this you will be able to do through your mobile phone by uploading documents or through email with support.
Do watch out for scams, however, a site will never ask you for your username/password to gain access to your bingo account information. Make sure all correspondence comes either through the app or directly to your email from an official capacity.
UK Licensing + Regulation
Last but not least, all of the websites listed here are fully licensed, regulated and approved by the UKGC (United Kingdom Gambling Commission). Some comparison websites list 'grey market' or 'black market' websites that are not licensed by the UK regulator. We do not endorse these websites and you won't find them on How About Bingo. Take the opportunity to select and play at websites that are approved in the UK!
Keep it Fun, Keep it Safe
One of the best advances with regard to technology in the bingo space has to be in the form of safe gaming software features. Bingo should be a fun game and if you are no longer enjoying your experience, you will want to use some of the facilities such as setting deposit limits or even self-exclusion. If you are struggling in this area we recommend checking out other resources/organisations such as GamCare, GamStop or BeGambleAware.
Can I play free bingo on the apps mentioned on this page?
Yes, but it depends. Some of the sites on this page provide completely free bingo game access with no deposit required. With that said, most bingo sites will require you to make a deposit to gain access to their free bingo schedule. Not all sites provide free bingo but most have some selection of free games that play out at various times.
What are the main benefits of playing on your mobile phone?
The principal benefit of playing bingo from your mobile phone has to be CONVENIENCE. Being able to click an app on your phone and gain access to bingo rooms and bingo games within seconds is much quicker than loading up your PC or even driving to your local bingo hall.
What are the main differences compared to playing bingo on a desktop?
The main difference is when it comes to the user experience. Every mobile game is shown on a small window, whereas on a tablet or desktop PC, you can see much more that is going on as you are less limited by pixel space.
Can I play slots and casino games from a mobile bingo app?
Yes. In fact, nearly all bingo site apps have a slots and casino section. We can't name a brand that doesn't have complimentary games such as slots and casino titles, whilst offering only bingo.
Are there any drawbacks to playing mobile bingo?
The main drawback would be that because the mobile games are so easily accessible and the websites are designed to keep you playing, if you have trouble controlling your own behaviour you may end up gambling more money than you a comfortable losing.
