Tiospa Zina Tribal School is a tribal K-12 school in Agency Village, South Dakota. [1] It is 6 miles (9.7 km) from Sisseton. [2] It is affiliated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). [3]
The school was the project of the chairperson of the area Indian tribe, a man named Rollin Ryan (he died in or before 1989). [4]
It was established circa 1981, with an initial enrollment of 11. The area did not yet have a school prior to TZTS's opening. By 1994 the school had about 500 students. At that time there were plans to construct a replacement facility which would be designed in an eagle-like shape. [2] By 2004 the facility had been built, with the cost being $21 million. [5]
The school in 2003 made a Bureau of Indian Affairs-defined adequate progress level, but it did not do so in 2004. [6]
