# Navajo Council Delegate Forum | October 14, 2026

The Central Consolidated School District-hosted Navajo Nation Council delegate candidate forum was held October 14, 2026, with students questioning candidates about education, school facilities, rural community services, youth well-being, and cultural programs. Procurement-related discussion focused on school construction and funding: a current CCSD board member and candidate said a new elementary school had been built in the Newcomb area during his tenure and that a new school in Newcomb was being pursued. Candidates discussed seeking state capital-outlay funds, working with the Navajo Nation and federal Bureau of Indian Education, and combining funding sources for school repairs and upgrades. One candidate urged voters to support the upcoming school bond election. No contract awards, vendor selections, procurement approvals, or votes were reported at the forum.

Candidates also discussed potential investments in community infrastructure, including water, roads, broadband, and a regional recreation center, as well as expanding school counseling, youth programs, and educational resources. These were proposals and advocacy priorities rather than adopted spending decisions; no dollar amounts, contract numbers, or vendors were identified.
