The schools on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation are undergoing a 60-day review in hopes of resolving outstanding problems, President Eugene Little Coyote told The Billings Gazette.

The Northern Cheyenne Tribe ousted the old school board and created an ad hoc committee last month. Little Coyote said the action was necessary to ensure accountability in the schools. He said some problems haven't been addressed in two years.

Little Coyote said the ad hoc board is temporary but the tribe's longtime superintendent resigned last week in protest.
