FY 2024 Budget Request
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
“If you want America to have the best-educated workforce, let’s finish the job by providing access to pre-
school for 3- and 4-year-olds. Studies show that children who go to pre-school are nearly 50% more
likely to finish high school and go on to earn a 2- or 4-year degree, no matter their background.”
- President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., February 7, 2023
The mission of the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is to provide students at BIE-funded schools with a
culturally relevant, high-quality education that prepares them with the knowledge and skills to equip them
for success in the opportunities of tomorrow, become healthy and prosperous individuals, and lead their
communities and sovereign nations to a thriving future that preserves their unique cultural identities.
The 2024 President’s Budget for BIE is $1.6 billion in current appropriations, a $209.2 million increase
from the 2023 enacted level. The Budget includes key investments to strengthen BIE’s autonomy as a
Federal agency and improve local services for tribally controlled and bureau-operated schools while also
advancing equity for historically underserved Tribal communities. BIE estimates that the budget supports
staffing of 3,264 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in 2024.
The United States has a trust and treaty responsibility to provide eligible Indian students with a quality
education. BIE serves as a capacity builder and service provider to support Tribes in delivering culturally
appropriate education with high academic standards to allow students across Indian Country to achieve
success. BIE funding supports classroom instruction, student transportation, Native language
development programs, cultural enrichment, gifted and talented programs, behavioral health and wellness
services, school safety, security, and education technology investments. In addition, BIE maintains
facility operations and maintenance at BIE funded schools operated by Tribes or the bureau. In some
schools—mostly in remote sites—funding also supports residential costs. BIE operates two
postsecondary institutions, administers grants for 29 tribally controlled colleges and universities, funds
two Tribal technical colleges, and supports multiple scholarship programs for highly qualified Native
American students.
The 2024 Budget invests in improved educational opportunities and service delivery for American Indian
students from their earliest years through college. BIE continues to strengthen itself as an independent
bureau and is developing a strategic plan for 2024 and beyond to create a roadmap for the future to
support Tribes in educating their youth and to deliver a world-class and culturally appropriate education.
FY 2024 BUDGET PROPOSAL
Budget Overview –
The 2024 Budget for the Bureau of Indian Education is $1.6 billion, an increase of
$209.2 million, providing resources for BIE’s core mission to support bureau-operated and tribally
controlled schools and administering grants to Tribal institutions of higher education.
BIE-ES-2
BIE funding supports classroom instruction, student transportation, native language development and
cultural enrichment programs, behavioral health and wellness services, school safety, security, and
educational technology investments, as well as facility operations and maintenance at BIE schools
operated by Tribes or directly by BIE. In some schools—mostly in remote sites—funding also supports
residential costs. In addition to operating two postsecondary schools and administering grants for 29
TCUs, BIE funds two Tribal technical colleges, and scholarship programs for highly qualified Native
American students.
The 2024 budget supports improved educational opportunities and service delivery for Native American
students from their earliest years through college. BIE continues to strengthen itself as an independent
bureau with the next iteration of BIE’s Five-Year Strategic Direction that will continue to act as a guiding
organization-wide plan designed to increase stakeholder collaboration on BIE's continuous improvement.
This important strategic roadmap aims to improve education service delivery and strengthen support for
BIE schools, as outlined in an adaptive framework structured around key areas of focus. Four
components of the new framework (human relations, policy and procedures, improving information, and
stakeholder relations) center on the emotional health and well-being of BIE students as foundational for
academic achievement and self-determination, as we support Tribes in educating their youth and
delivering a world-class and culturally appropriate education.

Investing in Tribal Education — The 2024 budget supports the Administration’s commitment to invest
in underserved communities, support early childhood, native language, and K-12 services to students
across Indian Country, and post-secondary opportunities that recognize the critical role that Tribal
postsecondary schools play in empowering Indian students and Tribal communities.
Operation of Indian Education Programs—The 2024 budget for the Operation of Indian Education
Programs account is $1.2 billion, an increase of $60.8 million. The core mission of BIE is to support
Bureau Operated and Tribally Controlled schools and administer grants to Tribal institutions of higher
education.
Elementary and Secondary Programs—The request includes $925.5 million, a $42.8 million increase
over the 2023 enacted level, for operating the entire BIE elementary and secondary school system—169
elementary and secondary schools and 14 dormitories—by providing educational services to
approximately 45,000 students in 23 States. Funds support the basic and supplemental education
programs at BIE-funded schools, student transportation, facility operations, and maintenance.
The 2024 request includes targeted funding to improve Indian student academic outcomes, address
maintenance needs, support expanded preschool and Native language programs, and provide pay parity
for Tribal teachers while fully funding projected Tribal Grant Support Costs. The Budget provides
$508.7 million, a $27.0 million increase over 2023 enacted, for Indian School Equalization Program
funds to enhance opportunities and outcomes in the classroom, provide improved instructional services,
BIE-ES-3
and support increased teacher quality, recruitment, and retention. The request level of $22.1 million,
including a $500,000 program increase, for Education Program Enhancements supports professional
development for teachers, advances the quality of in-classroom instruction, and incorporates improved
Native language and culture programs in classrooms. Early Child and Family Development funding of
$26.1 million enables BIE to provide preschool opportunities at BIE-funded schools.
Facilities Operations and Maintenance is $160 million, a $5.6 million increase over the 2023 enacted
amount, and includes investments to keep pace with operational cost increases and support the timely
maintenance and replacement of equipment at BIE schools. The Budget also includes $22.6 million,
including a $2.0 million program increase, for the Johnson-O’Malley program, which is authorized to
support the individualized educational needs of eligible Indian students enrolled in public schools and
nonsectarian private schools.
The Budget continues to invest in activities that promote educational self-determination for Tribal
communities and includes $98.7 million for Tribal Grant Support Costs for Tribes that choose to operate
BIE-funded schools. This level of funding supports 100 percent of the estimated requirement. To further
support sovereignty, the Budget proposes a provision allowing for the expansion of more than one grade
at BIE-funded schools with a K-2 or K-4 structure.
Postsecondary Programs—The request includes $189.6 million for Postsecondary Programs, a $6.0
million increase over 2023 enacted. The 2024 budget continues recognition of the critical role Tribal
postsecondary institutions have in empowering Indian students and promoting equity for Tribal
communities. These institutions are on or near reservations; they directly serve Tribal communities with
culturally relevant education and career pathways in a supportive environment. Postsecondary education
of Tribal members remains an essential component in the economic development of many Tribes.
The proposed budget will provide $34.9 million, including a $2.0 million program increase, for BIE-
operated Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute; $87.9 million
for grants to 29 Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs); and $10.7 million, a $1.5 million increase over
the 2023 enacted level, for grants for two Tribal Technical Colleges.
Postsecondary Programs fund multiple scholarship programs, including $43.4 million for the Scholarships
and Adult Education program to improve educational opportunities and serve a larger population of
qualified Native American students. The program promotes equity through educational grants to Tribal
communities, which have been historically underserved and adversely affected by persistent poverty and
inequality.
Education Program Management— The Budget includes $79.3 million, an increase of $12.1 million over
2023 enacted, for education management and information technology (IT) to optimize learning
opportunities for students of all ages. Education Program Management (EPM) funding supports ongoing
improvements in high-priority functional areas, including acquisition, school safety, performance
tracking, and technical support to schools in the field. Other management activities include data
collection, analysis, and reporting; financial and budget functions; oversight and coordination of major
facility repairs; and management of grant applications. BIE IT includes the Native American Student
BIE-ES-4
Information System, wide area network infrastructure, and general support systems used by BIE-funded
schools.
EPM initiatives in 2024 include the continued implementation of a School Operations Office of Self-
Determination to develop Tribal capacity and promote maximum Indian participation in educational
programs and services; the Justice40 Initiative to promote environmental justice; and BIE’s Social
Emotional Learning project to develop a national curriculum to support behavioral health and wellness
programs at BIE-funded schools. The funding in 2024 will also allow EPM to calculate and report on
methodologies for maximizing the benefits to underserved communities.
The budget proposes $33.7 million, an increase of $5.8 million over the 2023 enacted level, for Education
IT to support the ongoing costs of distance learning and enhanced classroom technology. BIE continues
to collaborate with Tribes and communities to alleviate ongoing strains imposed by the COVID-19
pandemic on BIE students and their families, teachers, administrators, and other staff members in K–12
schools and at TCUs. The 2024 Budget will enable BIE to leverage ongoing infrastructure investments in
new technology and operational capabilities at BIE-funded schools, including the new Education
Learning Management System, by supporting comprehensive online delivery of educational courses to
students and professional development opportunities for teachers. Education IT resources will continue
the annual learning software subscriptions and licenses, support contract extensions needed to maintain
this investment, and support educational IT personnel costs for remote learning and additional broadband
capabilities.
The Payments for Tribal Leases are accounted for in the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget and used
to administer BIA and BIE leases pursuant to section 105(l) of the Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act. The Budget reflects the Administration’s support for the principles of Tribal
self-determination and strengthening Tribal communities across Indian Country by proposing to reclassify
105(l) leases as current mandatory spending in 2024. This funding reclassification will provide Tribes
with certainty in meeting these ongoing needs through dedicated funding sources.
Tribal Priority Allocations—Tribal Priority Allocations (TPAs) give Tribes the opportunity to further
Indian self-determination by establishing their priorities and reallocating Federal funds among programs
in this budget category. The 2024 BIE Budget includes TPA funding of $67.3 million.
Education Construction— The 2024 Budget includes $416.2 million, an increase of $148.3 million over
2023 enacted, in annual funding for Education Construction to replace and repair school facilities and
address deferred maintenance needs at campuses across the BIE school system. This funding includes
substantial investments to address the climate crisis with more sustainable BIE infrastructure. Whenever
feasible, BIE facilities projects incorporate techniques to reduce energy and water consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions and to prepare the facilities for the predicted effects of climate change. The
Indian Affairs (IA) Office of Facilities, Property and Safety Management—in close coordination with
BIE—manages the Site Assessment and Capital Investment (SACI) Program, a comprehensive approach
to assess the conditions of bureau-funded schools and prioritize requirements for campus improvements.
The SACI Program follows formalized procedures that respect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination
and result in consensus agreements with schools, Tribes, and IA for major renovations and new
construction projects. The SACI Program has developed a long-term facilities plan that is continuously
BIE-ES-5
updated and adjusts to changes in education construction funding and facility evaluation or selection
criteria. Replacing or repairing BIE-funded schools is a high priority that has produced tangible results,
with two new campuses opened to students in 2022.
The proposed $252.5 million for Replacement School Construction, a $136.0 million increase over the
2023 enacted amount, and $23.9 million for Replacement Facility Construction are critical to ensuring
that all Native students can develop in an environment conducive to quality educational achievement.
With the Replacement School Construction, Replacement Facility Construction, and Great American
Outdoors Act (Public Law 116–152) funding anticipated through 2024, BIE expects to support planning,
design, and construction work at nine BIE schools; final allocations are pending completion of the design
phase and refined cost estimates for each school. Appropriate housing is a key element for educational
staffing, especially at schools in remote locations. An additional $139.8 million is included for other
housing and facilities repair programs, including a $9.7 million program increase for facilities
improvement and repair and $2.5 million for new/replacement employee housing.
Fixed Costs—Fixed costs of $25.6 million are fully funded, which addresses teacher pay parity for all
BIE operated and Tribally controlled school teachers, increases in Federal employee pay, and increases in
the Working Capital Fund.

BUREAU OF INDIAN EDUCATION
GENERAL STATEMENT
”As we build our capacity, we are creating our own identity as a world class education
provider. This logo perfectly captures the spirit of our mission. Every detail honors our Indigenous
heritage and our commitment to the education of our students. It encapsulates intellect and
determination, which is exactly what we strive to instill in every student.”
Tony L. Dearman
Director, Bureau of Indian Education
January 6, 2022
Introduction: The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) serves as the principal government agency in
upholding the United States’ educational obligations to Indian Tribes and their eligible Indian students.
As stated in Title 25 CFR part 32.2, BIE’s mission is to provide quality education opportunities from
early childhood through life in accordance with a Tribe’s needs for cultural and economic well-being, in
keeping with the wide diversity of Indian Tribes and Alaska Native villages as distinct cultural and
governmental entities.
The People We Serve: The BIE implements Federal Indian education programs and funds 183 elementary
schools, secondary schools and dormitories (of which over two-thirds are tribally operated) located on 64
reservations in 23 States serving an estimated 45,000 individual students at full capacity. BIE also operates
two post-secondary schools and administers grants for 29 tribally controlled colleges and universities and
two Tribal technical colleges and provides nearly 500 post-secondary scholarship opportunities to highly
qualified American Indian students.
BIE is positioned to develop the next generation of Tribal leadership through a quality education. Native
American youth are the most important resource of any Tribe, and their education is vital to the well-
being of Indian Country. Many Indian communities that BIE programs support face social and socio-
economic challenges at disproportionate rates compared to the rest of America. Improving education
services in Tribal communities is essential to promote economic development, increase educational
achievement, and improve standards of living for future generations of American Indians and Alaska
Natives.
Federal Indian Policy: There are five major legislative actions aimed at improving the delivery of
education to eligible Indian students. First, the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 introduced the teaching
of Indian history and culture in Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools. Second, the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (Pub.L. 93-638) gave authority to federally recognized
Tribes to contract with the BIA for the operation of Bureau-funded schools and to determine education
programs suitable for their children. The Education Amendments Act of 1978 (Pub.L. 95-561) and further
technical amendments (Pub.L. 98-511, 99-99, and 100-297) provided funds directly to tribally operated
BIE-GS-2
schools, empowered Indian school boards, permitted local hiring of teachers and staff, and established a
direct line of authority between the BIE Director and the Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs. The No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Pub.L. 107-110) brought additional requirements to the schools by holding
them accountable for improving their students’ academic performance with the U.S. Department of
Education supplemental program funds they receive through the Bureau. In 2015, the Every Student
Succeeds Act (Pub.L. 114-95) was passed to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
to increase local control, require consultation with Tribal governments with State and local education
agencies, and provide the BIE more access to U.S. Department of Education funded technical assistance,
support, and resources.
BIE Organization and Leadership: Although the BIA and BIE organizations have always pursued
different mission objectives and reported separately to the Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs, BIE was
historically funded as a Budget Activity within Indian Affairs until 2020.
Currently, line authority for BIE programs begins at the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs level who
oversees the Director of the Bureau of Indian Education. The primary responsibilities of the BIE
Director are to advise the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs on education policy issues, provide
leadership in consultations with Tribes, and deliver educational support and services. The BIE Director is
supported by the Deputy Bureau Director and Associate Deputy Directors.
The Deputy Bureau Director manages the School Operations division, which includes budget
formulation and execution, finance, acquisition, and safety and facilities-related issues of direct
concern to BIE schools. School Operations is the Bureau-wide resource for Associate Deputy
Directors, Education Program Administrators, and school administrators to resolve questions, fast
track priorities, and identify best practices.
The Associate Deputy Directors serve as top level senior executives responsible for providing
oversight, guidance, and technical assistance to BIE-funded schools. Associate Deputy Directors
are responsible for building a responsive organization that provides resources, direction and
services to BIE schools, and fosters parental, community, and organizational partnerships to
provide the emotional and social support students need.
Indian Education functions are closely coordinated with Indian Affairs. The functions performed by
Indian Affairs provide administrative oversight to ensure accountability at every level and avoid
duplication.

Compliance with Section 403
Section 403 of Pub.L. 117-328, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, includes a requirement to
disclose program assessments used to support Government-wide, departmental, or agency initiatives
or general operations. The general provision states:
SEC. 403. The amount and basis of estimated overhead charges, deductions, reserves, or holdbacks,
including working capital fund charges, from programs, projects, activities and subactivities to support
government-wide, departmental, agency, or bureau administrative functions or headquarters, regional, or
central operations shall be presented in annual budget justifications and subject to approval by the
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Changes to such estimates
shall be presented to the Committees on Appropriations for approval.
Burden Rate on Reimbursable Contract and Agreements
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-25 and the Statement of Federal Financial
Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 4 require Federal agencies to assess a burden rate (user charge) on
reimbursable contracts and agreements, where agencies act in the capacity of a service provider.
Beginning in FY 2007, Indian Affairs included a burden rate to be applied to all new reimbursable
agreements initiated in FY 2007 and thereafter. The rate for each new fiscal year is re-calculated and re-
issued before the start of the new fiscal year.
Agreements requiring the application of a burden assessment rate include all reimbursable agreements,
with certain exceptions, between Indian Affairs (IA) and other Federal agencies, State and local
governments, the public, and other Department of the Interior agencies. Exceptions to the policy include
reimbursable agreements that result in compacts, contracts, and grants awarded pursuant to 25 USC 5301
et seq. (Pub.L. 93-638 the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act), and reimbursable
agreements received under the authority of 25 U.S.C. 318a (Pub.L. 70-520 The Federal Highway Act), as
amended by 23 U.S.C. 202 (Pub.L. 112-141 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act and
Pub.L.114-94 Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act of 2015). In addition, the burden rate does
not apply to authority received from the Department of Education for programs operated through the
Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) and to grants awarded to BIE by other Federal agencies or State
institutions to support BIE programs, and funds received by BIE from State agencies for the
administration of the Food Services Program. All funds received from a Tribal government are exempt
from the burden assessment.
Furthermore, the burden rate does not apply to Intra-agency/Inter-agency Personnel Agreements
established to detail an IA employee to another Federal, State, local or Tribal government, nor does it
apply to emergency supplemental agreements and Wildfire Management-Fire Suppression
reimbursements. Finally, construction agreements for the benefit of a Tribe/school, cost-shared
administrative support agreements, travel expenses, or award payments to an IA employee are exempt
from the burden rate assessment and TAAMS-related efforts, i.e., training, program enhancements, and
program support.
BIE-ST-8
BIE-ST-9
Program Assessments
In FY 2024, IA may assess no more than 1.5 percent to programs within the Operation of Indian
Programs and Operation of Indian Education Programs accounts for certain administrative costs that
support emergent, unfunded government-wide, departmental, and IA efforts performed at regional or
central offices such as direct lease shortfalls, union representation/labor relations, ethics program support,
and common use charges.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education may carry out the operation of Indian
programs by direct expenditure, contracts, cooperative agreements, compacts, and grants, either directly
or in cooperation with States and other organizations.
Notwithstanding Public Law 87–279 (25 U.S.C. 15), the Bureau of Indian Affairs may contract for
services in support of the management, operation, and maintenance of the Power Division of the San
Carlos Irrigation Project.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the
Bureau of Indian Education for central office oversight and Executive Direction and Administrative
Services (except Executive Direction and Administrative Services funding for Tribal Priority Allocations,
regional offices, and facilities operations and maintenance) shall be available for contracts, grants,
compacts, or cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Bureau of Indian Education
under the provisions of the Indian Self-Determination Act or the Tribal Self-Governance Act of 1994
(Public Law 103–413).
In the event any tribe returns appropriations made available by this Act to the Bureau of Indian Affairs
or the Bureau of Indian Education, this action shall not diminish the Federal Government's trust
responsibility to that tribe, or the government-to-government relationship between the United States and
that tribe, or that tribe's ability to access future appropriations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education, other
than the amounts provided herein for assistance to public schools under 25 U.S.C. 452 et seq., shall be
available to support the operation of any elementary or secondary school in the State of Alaska.
No funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education shall be used to support expanded grades for any
school or dormitory beyond the grade structure in place or approved by the Secretary of the Interior at
each school in the Bureau of Indian Education school system as of October 1, 1995, except that the
Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition to support expansion of up to one additional
grade when the Secretary determines such waiver is needed to support accomplishment of the mission of
the Bureau of Indian Education, or more than one grade to expand the elementary grade structure for
Bureau-funded schools with a K-2 or K-4 grade structure on October 1, 1996. Appropriations made
available in this or any prior Act for schools funded by the Bureau shall be available, in accordance with
the Bureau's funding formula, only to the schools in the Bureau school system as of September 1, 1996,
and to any school or school program that was reinstated in fiscal year 2012. Funds made available under
this Act may not be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-funded school (as that term is defined in
section 1141 of the Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2021)), except that a charter school that is
in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded school
before September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during that period, but only if the charter school pays
to the Bureau a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the Bureau for the use of the real and personal
property (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter school are kept separate and apart from
BIE-PROV-1
BIE-PROV-2
Bureau funds, and the Bureau does not assume any obligation for charter school programs of the State in
which the school is located if the charter school loses such funding. Employees of Bureau-funded schools
sharing a campus with a charter school and performing functions related to the charter school's operation
and employees of a charter school shall not be treated as Federal employees for purposes of chapter 171
of title 28, United States Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 113 of title I of appendix C of Public Law
106–113, if in fiscal year 2003 or 2004 a grantee received indirect and administrative costs pursuant to a
distribution formula based on section 5(f) of Public Law 101–301, the Secretary shall continue to
distribute indirect and administrative cost funds to such grantee using the section 5(f) distribution
formula.
Funds available under this Act may not be used to establish satellite locations of schools in the Bureau
school system as of September 1, 1996, except that the Secretary may waive this prohibition in order for
an Indian tribe to provide language and cultural immersion educational programs for non-public schools
located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal government which exclusively serve tribal members, do
not include grades beyond those currently served at the existing Bureau-funded school, provide an
educational environment with educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the Bureau-funded
school, comply with all applicable Tribal, Federal, or State health and safety standards, and the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and demonstrate the benefits of establishing operations at a satellite
location in lieu of incurring extraordinary costs, such as for transportation or other impacts to students
such as those caused by busing students extended distances: Provided, That no funds available under this
Act may be used to fund operations, maintenance, rehabilitation, construction, or other facilities-related
costs for such assets that are not owned by the Bureau: Provided further, That the term "satellite school"
means a school location physically separated from the existing Bureau school by more than 50 miles but
that forms part of the existing school in all other respects.
Funds made available for Tribal Priority Allocations within Operation of Indian Programs and Operation
of Indian Education Programs may be used to execute requested adjustments in tribal priority allocations
initiated by an Indian Tribe.
BIE Justification of Proposed Language Changes
Administrative Provisions
1. Addition of the following wording: or K-4
…except that the Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition to support expansion of up
to one additional grade when the Secretary determines such waiver is needed to support
accomplishment of the mission of the Bureau of Indian Education, or more than one grade to
expand the elementary grade structure for Bureau-funded schools with a K-2 or K-4 grade
structure on October 1, 1996.
Justification of change: Current annual appropriations language for the Bureau of Indian
Education (BIE) limits the expansion of more than one grade to BIE-funded schools with a
kindergarten through second grade (K-2) structure. The proposed language (in bold) would
BIE-PROV-3
authorize the
expansion of more than one grade to BIE-funded schools with a K-2 or K-4
structure. Tribal communities have requested this change in BIE’s Administrative Provisions
language to accommodate K-4 schools’ intent to serve additional Indian students and support
their local communities. This proposal will improve BIE’s capability to deliver educational
services to the Tribal communities it serves. The expansion authority provided by this change will
alleviate reported hardships in some communities where current grade limitations results in
families needing to seek alternate educational services not available in immediate Tribal
communities.

The BIE 2024 budget request supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to invest in Native
education for the 2024-2025 school year. These resources are complemented by additional investments in
BIE schools through the budget request for the Department of Education. In addition, in 2024, BIE will
continue to leverage $850.0 million made available through the American Rescue Plan (ARP). These no-
year funds continue to support schools in their efforts to ensure safe and healthy learning environments
while undertaking various post-pandemic recovery and learning initiatives.
2024 Activities
• Improving educational opportunities and service delivery for Native American students from their
earliest years through college.
• Providing Indian Student Equalization Program (ISEP) resources to support school operational
requirements, staffing and non-pay operating costs.
• Investing in transformative education information technology to support school connectivity and
remote learning requirements.
• Expanding early childhood and family development services, including expanding Native
Language Development programs.
• Meeting the Tribal Grant Support Cost needs of school leaders operating Tribally Controlled
Schools.
• Supporting initiatives that include funding a Pathways Program Coordinator to attract high
quality applicants to BIE internships and careers, funding a School Operations Self-
Determination Office to serve Tribal stakeholders, and continuing to support a Justice40 position
to support investments in climate and clean energy for disadvantaged communities we serve.
Justification of 2024 Program Changes
The 2024 budget request for Operation of Indian Education Programs is $1,194,389,000 and 2,712 FTE,
a program change of +$37,247,000 and +129 FTE from the 2023 Enacted level.
BIE-OIEP-7
Elementary & Secondary Programs (Forward Funded) (+$24,921,000 / +82 FTE)
Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) Formula Funds (+$19,091,000 / +62 FTE) - The 2024
budget request supports the Administration’s commitment to invest in Native education, and the
Presidential Initiative to Advance Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities (Executive
Order 13985) by providing eligible Indian students with a quality education. This funding will provide
approximately $7,250 per Weighted Student Unit for School Year 2024-2025 up from $6,865 in School
Year 2023-2024.
ISEP Program Adjustments (+$500,000 / +1 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase in ISEP Program
Adjustments will provide schools with resources for targeted projects to improve student achievement by
expanding educational opportunities, providing behavioral health services to students, and continuing the
Safe and Secure Schools programs, which seeks to ensure all students at BIE-funded schools have access
to educational opportunities in a safe learning environment and the necessary mental and behavioral
health supports to assist them as they work to succeed.
Education Prog
ram Enhancements (+$500,000 / +15 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase in Education
Program Enhancements supports critical services and necessary resources to meet the unique needs and
priorities of individual Tribes and their schools. Increased funding is vital to ensuring school
improvement initiatives can be implemented to enhance instructional practices that meet individual tribal
needs and provide the best possible educational opportunities for Indian children.
Student Transpor
tation (+$2,000,000 / +4 FTE) - The 2024 budget includes essential investments in
student transportation needs to cover the increased costs for bus leases, fuel, maintenance, vehicle
replacement, and driver salaries, along with staff training for bus drivers and transportation managers.
Tribal Grant
Support Costs (+$2,830,000 / 0 FTE):
In keeping with the President’s focus on honoring our commitments to Indian country, the 2024 budget
request supports 100% of Tribal Grant Support Costs calculated need.
Elementary & Secondary Programs (+$2,000,000 / 0 FTE):
Juvenile Detention Center Education (-$555,000 / 0 FTE):
This change is an internal transfer only. IA proposes to transfer this funding for Juvenile Detention
Center education to the BIA Public Safety and Justice program. These funds support education activities
in BIA detention centers. Funding is currently appropriated to the BIE, which then transfers the funds to
the BIA Office of Justice Services for allocation to detention centers. By transferring these funds for
direct appropriations to the BIA Office of Justice Services, it will reduce the time it takes to make these
funds available for use at the juvenile detention centers.
Johnson-O’Malley (JOM) Assistance Grants (TPA) (+$2,000,000 / 0 FTE) - The 2024 budget increase
will provide eligible students under the new Student Count with the necessary resources to meet their
unique and specialized educational needs. Beginning with the 2024 JOM distribution, and in accordance
with the JOM Modernization Act, BIE will begin basing the annual JOM distribution on the actual count
BIE-OIEP-8
of JOM eligible students within a JOM contractor's tribal service area or school district. The 2024
distribution will be based on the 2022-2023 school year student counts. The JOM Assistance Grants
(TPA) increase will ensure American Indian and Alaska Native students who attend public schools with
an existing JOM contractor's tribal service area or public school district continue to receive remedial
instructions, counseling and parental involvement, language, and other culturally relevant programs that
allow them to receive an education on the same level as non-Indian students.
Post-Secondary Programs (Forward Funded) (+$3,500,000 / +4 FTE)
Haskell & SIPI (Forward Funded) (+$2,000,000 / +4 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase will provide
the two bureau-operated post-secondary schools much needed funding to allow them to properly serve
Indian students from federally recognized Tribes. The program pays for instruction, dormitories,
administration, staff, supplies, materials, and textbooks. The schools strive to offer high-quality
education to American Indians and Alaska Natives with culturally sensitive curricula and innovative
services and a commitment to academic excellence.
Tribal Technical Colleges (Forward Funded) (+$1,500,000 / 0 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase
will support Tribal Technical Colleges’ operational expenses and promote the economic development
plans of the Tribes. The program supports core functions (e.g., classroom instruction and school
operations) at the two colleges partially funded by BIE.
Education Management (+$6,826,000 / +43 FTE)
Education Program Management (+$1,150,000 / +41 FTE) - The 2024 budget will strengthen BIE as
an independent bureau by prioritizing hiring that targets capacity building and addresses support gaps in
these key areas:
• Information technology
• Facilities management
• Grants administration
• Acquisition roles in improving our service delivery, procurement, and program support to
stakeholders
Through this activity, the BIE provides management activities crucial for effective operations, including
data collection, analysis, reporting, coordinated fiscal management, risk assessments with corrective
actions, targeted monitoring activities, technical assistance, certain financial and accounting functions,
coordination and preparation of grant applications, and reporting.
Education IT (+$5,676,000 / +2 FTE) - Increased funding will support new educational information
technology (IT) operational capabilities, including infrastructure improvements in connectivity for
learning, to improve the quality of distance and in-person instruction post-pandemic. The increase will
enhance service and acquisition support work on BIE’s education Learning Management System (eLMS)
initiative; increase bandwidth in schools; and support effective eLMS planning for both classroom and
distance learning. Priorities in 2024 will include:
BIE-OIEP-9
• Upgrade 83 BIE school circuits. Per our quarterly report to Congress, the current objective for
bandwidth at schools is to reach 300Mbps per student and teacher. The upgrade is expected to be
completed by the summer of 2024.
• Select, award, integrate, and implement a shared Education Learning Management System
(eLMS).
• Establish life-cycle management policies and plans for in-school networks, including a
LAN/WAN hardware technical refresh.
• Collaborate with the Deputy Assistant Secretary – Management (DAS-M) and the Assistant Chief
Information Officer (ACIO) to design and build an initial education program for IT managers and
staff cadre.
Bureau of Indian Education Overview:
Education Activities
The Elementary and Secondary (forward funded) activity provides the primary funding for the core
operational functions of the BIE school system: educational programs (including the base ISEP),
supplemental programs (such as ISEP Program Adjustments and Education Program Enhancements),
transportation, security, and school administration. These funds are forward funded and executed between
July 1 of the appropriation year and September 30 of the following appropriation year.
The Elementary/Secondary activity includes facilities operations and maintenance funds and support
programs for individual students. Funds are distributed at the beginning of the fiscal year and expendable
for 24 months. Collectively, the Elementary and Secondary (forward funded) and Elementary/Secondary
activities support a total of 183 elementary schools, secondary schools, and residential and peripheral
dormitories across 23 States; 128 schools are Tribally controlled under Pub.L. 93-638 Indian Self
Determination and Education Assistance Act contracts or Pub.L. 100-297 Tribally Controlled Grant
Schools Act, and 55 schools are operated by the BIE. The BIE elementary and secondary school system
serves 45,779 individual students with a calculated three-year Average Daily Membership (ADM) of
40,271 students.
The Post-Secondary (forward funded) activity provides funding to 29 Tribal colleges and universities, two
Tribal technical colleges, and BIE’s two post-secondary institutions: Haskell Indian Nations University
(Haskell) and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI). The funds are provided in July of the
appropriation year and available through the following appropriation year.
The Post-Secondary activity includes supplemental funding for Tribal colleges and universities.

The Education Management activity consists of Education Program Management and Information
Technology. The primary goal of Education Management is to optimize learning opportunities for students
of all ages. This activity represents just over five percent of total funding (including all funding provided
to BIE by the Department of Education) for BIE educational activities. Education Management supports
Associate Deputy Director (ADD) and School Operations staff at BIE’s Education Resource Centers in
their role providing direct and customized technical assistance.
Funding Sources
The 2024 request for BIE elementary and secondary school operations is $925,540,000. BIE provides
approximately 78 percent of the total funding for BIE-funded schools. In addition, the Department of
Education will transfer funds to educate and provide services to students attending BIE-funded
elementary and secondary schools. BIE serves in a State Education Agency capacity and administers and
oversees the Department of Education’s programs in BIE-funded schools.
Schools al
so receive competitive grants directly from the Department of Education and other Federal
agencies, such as the Federal Communication Commission’s E-Rate program and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Free and Reduced Meals programs.
BIE-OIEP-11
The 2024 request for Pos
t-Secondary subactivities is $189,568,000, which supports the two colleges
operated by BIE, administers grants for 29 Tribal colleges and universities, and funds two Tribal technical
colleges.

Justification of 2024 Program Changes
The 2024 budget request for the Elementary and Secondary forward funded is $742,849,000 and 1,911
FTE, a program change of +$24,921,000 and +82 FTE from 2023.
Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) Formula Funds (+$19,091,000 / +62 FTE) - The 2024
budget request supports the Administration’s commitment to invest in Native education, and the
Presidential Initiative to Advance Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities (Executive
Order 13985) by providing eligible Indian students with a quality education. This funding will provide
approximately $7,250 per Weighted Student Unit for School Year 2024-2025 up from $6,865 in School
Year 2023-2024.
ISEP Program Adjustments (+$500,000 / +1 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase in ISEP Program
Adjustments will provide schools with resources for targeted projects to improve student achievement by
expanding educational opportunities, providing behavioral health services to students, and continuing the
Safe and Secure Schools programs.
Education Program Enhancements (+$500,000 / +15 FTE)
- The 2024 requested increase in
Education Program Enhancements supports critical services and necessary resources to meet the
unique needs and priorities of individual Tribes and their schools. Increased funding is vital to
ensuring school improvement initiatives can be implemented to enhance instructional practices
BIE-OIEP-15
that meet individual tribal needs and provide the best possible educational opportunities for
Indian children.
Student Tran
sportation (+$2,000,000 / +4 FTE) - The 2024 budget includes essential investments in
student transportation needs to cover the increased costs for bus leases, fuel, maintenance, vehicle
replacement, and driver salaries, along with staff training for bus drivers and transportation managers.
Tribal Grant
Support Costs (+$2,830,000 / 0 FTE)
– The 2024 budget request supports 100% of Tribal
Grant Support Costs calculated need.
Elementary and Secondary Programs (Forward Funded) Overview
ISEP Formula Funds ($508,657,000 / 1,635 FTE) - The ISEP formula funds serve as the primary
funding source for educational programs at BIE-funded elementary and secondary schools. These funds
are the single most significant component of BIE funding and are provided directly to schools. Funds
cover most of the costs of running elementary and secondary education programs, including teacher and
administrative salaries, basic instruction, gifted and talented programs, residential programs, food
services, and summer programs. In School Year (SY) 2023-2024, this funding will support an estimated
47,000 individual students with a calculated 40,271 Average Daily Membership (ADM) at BIE schools
and dormitories.
The ISEP distr
ibution is based on the number of students attending school and their academic needs. In
calculating ISEP funding, BIE first determines a school’s ADM. The ADM is based on the attendance of
students during the entire year. The ADM is adjusted for the special academic needs of students, as well
as for other purposes, in order to arrive at a Weighted Student Unit (WSU). The distribution of ISEP
funding is based on the number of WSUs at each school. The ISEP formula provides additional funding
for schools with residential programs. Please see the table on ISEP Formula Funding methodology in this
chapter and Appendix 1. In response to COVID-19 impacts on school closures, BIE received blanket
waiver authority to maintain pre-pandemic student counts for SY 2022-2023 to determine formula
funding levels. Starting in 2024 the blanket waiver will not be extended automatically to all BIE funded
schools, individual schools still experiencing hardships in enrollment will be allowed to request a waiver
for their student count. Student counts for schools with waivers will continue to keep pre-pandemic 3
year rolling averages calculated in the ISEP Formula Funding method.
The proposed leve
l of funding for SY 2024-2025 is projected to provide an estimated $7,250.47 per
WSU. In SY 2022-2023, the most recent year with funds distribution data, the majority of funding, $326
million or 74.7 percent, is being used for basic education programs, including $29.7 million or 6.8 percent
for language development programs and $13.3 million or 3.0 percent for programs for gifted and talented
students. An additional $59.8 million or 13.7 percent is expended for residential and dormitory costs,
with the remaining funding allocated for small school adjustments and school boards.
BIE-OIEP-16
ISEP FORMULATION METHODOLOGY
The formula for ISEP funding distribution is driven by the student count at a school for the entire
school year, referred to as the Average Daily Membership (ADM), and a Weighted Student Unit
(WSU) for each school. The WSU is calculated by weighting ADM for each school to account for the
school's requirement for special services including basic education, language development, gifted and
talented programs, and residential requirements. There are also weights for small schools, the grade
levels at a school, and any supplemental education programs the school offers due to student need.
The WSU is then averaged with the two previous years' WSU data to arrive at a three-year rolling
average, which is used in all calculations.
Distribution of ISEP funding is based on a dollar amount per WSU, which is calculated by dividing the
ISEP formula funds by the total WSU after deductions are made to the ISEP funds as authorized by the
Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988, Pub.L. 100-
297, as amended. The law stipulates that one percent of ISEP funding be set aside for contingencies at
BIE schools, after which any remaining balance is distributed to schools via the formula.

ISEP Program Adjustments ($7,300,000 / +11 FTE) - The ISEP Program Adjustments funding enables
BIE-funded schools to respond to specific findings of need or deficiencies. The 2024 budget request will
fund existing contracts at schools under the Safe and Secure Schools program and improve student
achievement by meeting the specific needs or deficiencies, providing behavioral health services to students,
and salaries for behavioral health counselors.
Education Prog
ram Enhancements ($22,131,000 / 65 FTE) - The Education Program Enhancement
subactivity enables BIE to provide critical services and necessary resources to meet the unique needs and
priorities of individual Tribes and their schools. The Education Resource Centers utilize the
Enhancement Program to fund professional development and technical assistance at all levels of the BIE
school system to improve student outcomes.
Each ADD and ERC w
orks in close cooperation with Tribes and the schools they serve, both BIE
operated and Tribally controlled, designing, and implementing customized programs and providing
necessary resources to meet the unique needs and priorities of individual Tribes and their schools. The
ADDs also cooperate closely with Tribes and schools to provide standard assessments and support school
improvement initiatives for academic staff to enhance their instructional practices, culture programs, and
curriculum materials. BIE supports efforts to revitalize and maintain Native languages and expand the use
of language immersion programs in its schools. The BIE is providing $7,500,000 to BIE-funded schools
to expand existing language immersion programs or create new programs, as part of their existing
operations, that will lead to Native language oral proficiency.
Tribal Education Departments ($5,889,000 / +0 FTE) - Many Tribes have established, or are interested
in establishing, their own Tribal Education Departments (TEDs). Such TEDs provide a variety of
educational services to their students. The BIE has made it its mission to support Tribal sovereignty over
education by assisting Tribes and their TEDs in building the capacity to coordinate and deliver
educational services to their respective Tribal members. The TED Program provides TEDs with critical
resources needed to strengthen the management and oversight of a Tribe’s educational programs,
including BIE-funded schools, school operations, adult education, scholarships, and other programs. For
instance, many grantee Tribes and their TEDs have used their TED program funds to research, draft, and
establish comprehensive Tribal education codes that align with the Tribe’s educational vision in
accordance with BIE standards.
Student Transpor
tation ($74,086,000 / 131 FTE) - Regular daily attendance is critical to student
achievement. Students who do not attend class on a regular basis are at a significantly higher risk of low
academic performance. The BIE Transportation funds are used to pay for bus leases, fuel, maintenance,
vehicle replacement, driver salaries, and staff training for bus drivers and transportation managers.
Unlike tradition
al school systems, BIE-funded schools are spread across 23 States and are largely
located in rural and geographically remote areas. Due to the dispersion of students over wide distances,
the total number of miles students are transported is significantly higher than in metropolitan areas.
In addition,
BIE Transportation funds also cover the commercial costs of transporting students to boarding
schools within the BIE school system at the beginning and end of each school year; some students are
BIE-OIEP-18
provided an additional round trip home at mid-year. Distribution of BIE’s Transportation funding is
based on the number of miles driven and actual commercial transportation costs incurred.
The annual accumulated distance traveled by BIE-funded school buses totals over 14 million miles.
Approximately 15 percent of BIE’s school transportation miles are on dirt or unimproved roads. These
factors increase wear-and-tear on vehicles and result in both higher maintenance costs and shorter vehicle
life.
In response to COVID-19 impacts on school closures, BIE received blanket waiver authority to maintain
pre-pandemic mileage counts for SY 2022-2023 to determine formula funding levels for the unique
transportation needs of students and communities during the pandemic. Mileage counts will be taken at the
end of the SY 2022-2023 and the blanket waiver will no longer be extended automatically to all BIE
funded schools, individual schools still experiencing hardships will be allowed to request a waiver for
their mileage counts. Student counts for schools with waivers will continue to keep pre-pandemic
mileage counts.
Outyear projections on both mileage and commercial transportation are dependent upon on a return to
normal operations and easing of some localized travel restrictions. Detailed funding distribution by schools
is provided in Appendix 1, Student Transportation by School, including road mileage recorded at each
school.
The following table includes the mileage recorded at BIE schools annually for SY 2017-2018 through SY
2022-2023 and provides projections thereafter.

Early Child and Family Development ($26,091,000 / 69 FTE) - The Early Child and Family
Development sub-activity provides BIE’s Family and Child Education (FACE) program and
implementation of early childhood activities outlined in the BIE Strategic Direction. Established in 1990,
BIE’s FACE program is designed to address the achievement gap for Indian children up to five years of
age primarily located on rural reservations by teaching preschoolers and their families the skills needed to
begin school. Services are provided in the child’s home and school centers and include early childhood
education, adult education, and parenting education. In FY 2024, the program will continue to recruit and
hire staff and instructors, maintain enrollment, and continue student and parental participation in new
FACE sites.

Tribal Grant Support Costs ($98,695,000 / +0 FTE) - A major goal of BIE is to facilitate Tribal
sovereignty over education by assisting Tribes in assuming the operation and management of BIE
BIE-OIEP-20
schools. In accordance with the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement
Amendments of 1988, Pub.L. 100-297, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, the BIE provides
administrative cost grants (subject to the availability of funds) to those Tribes which have assumed
operation and management of a BIE-funded school.
Tribal Grant
Support Costs are designed to ensure BIE provides the necessary administrative costs that
accompany the operation and management of tribally controlled elementary or secondary educational
programs.
Tribes operat
ing BIE-funded schools use these funds to cover the overhead costs of operating a school,
meet legal requirements, and carry out support functions that BIE would otherwise provide directly.
The 2024 budget request supports 100% of the calculated need.
Funds are distr
ibuted by formula according to the following methodology:
ADMINISTRATIVE COST GRANT DISTRIBUTION FORMULA
In accordance with the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments
of 1988, Pub.L. 100-297, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, individual administrative cost
grants are determined using an administrative cost percentage rate calculated by the following formula:
(Tribe Administered Program Dollars X 11%) + ($600,000 (std Direct Cost Base) X 50%)
(Tribe Administered Program Dollars) + ($600,000)
The above formula generates a percentage that is then multiplied by the tribally administered program
dollars (called the Tribal Direct Cost Base which is the total number of Federal appropriated dollars
managed by the Tribe) to calculate the dollars for the Administrative Cost Grant. The Administrative
Cost Grant equals the value generated from the formula above or a minimum amount of $200,000
regardless of the number of students (as required by the NCLB), prorated based on the availability of
funds.
Activity Accomplishments
In SY 2022 – 2023, there were 52 operating FACE programs. The BIE FACE program focuses on
identifying and assisting children who are not meeting expected development milestones through
screening. The BIE continues to support teacher certification through the National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards process.
The BIE also c
ontinues to focus on Native language development through ISEP and Education Program
Enhancements funding. In general, schools conduct classes aimed at raising Native language proficiency
during the instructional day. Schools also provide teachers with professional development to incorporate
Native language use in their classrooms and integrate language and culture into curriculum and
instruction. The ISEP funding formula generated $29.7 million for Language Development in BIE-
funded schools in SY 2021-2022 and SY 2022-2023. Under the Congressional set-aside for Native
language immersion, the BIE distributed $4.4 million grant funds in FY 2021 to 17 Bureau-funded
schools and another $5.5 million in FY 2022 to 168 Bureau-funded schools to increase Native language
proficiency by expanding or creating language immersion programs.

Justification of 2024 Program Changes
The 2024 budget request for Elementary and Secondary programs is $182,691,000 and 0 FTE, a
program change of +$2,000,000 and 0 FTE from 2023.
Johnson-O’Malley (JOM) Assistance Grants (TPA) (+$2,000,000 / 0 FTE) - The 2024 budget increase
will provide eligible students under the new Student Count with the necessary resources to meet their
unique and specialized educational needs. Beginning with the FY 2024 JOM distribution, and in
BIE-OIEP-22
accordance with the JOM Modernization Act, BIE will begin basing the annual JOM distribution on the
actual count of JOM eligible students within a JOM contractor's tribal service area or school district. The
FY 2024 distribution will be based on the 2022-2023 school year student counts. The JOM Assistance
Grants (TPA) increase will ensure American Indian and Alaska Native students who attend public schools
with an existing JOM contractor's tribal service area or public school district continue to receive remedial
instructions, counseling and parental involvement, language, and other culturally relevant programs that
allow them to receive an education on the same level as non-Indian students.
Elementary and Secondary Programs Overview
Facilities Operations ($83,518,000 / 184 FTE) - Schools are operated and maintained in a fashion that
ensures their continued safety and usefulness for educational purposes. Facilities Operations funds the
operational expenses for 183 BIE-funded elementary and secondary schools, Haskell, and SIPI. Common
expenses for operating BIE-funded facilities include electricity, heating fuels, communications, grounds
maintenance, vehicle rental (excluding school buses), refuse collection, custodial services, pest control,
water and sewer service, fire/intrusion monitoring, and operations program administration.
Facilities Maintenance ($76,543,000 / 223 FTE) - The BIE’s Facilities Maintenance funds are used to
conduct preventive, routine, and unscheduled maintenance for buildings, equipment, utility systems, and
ground structures at 183 elementary and secondary schools and dormitories, Haskell, and SIPI. These
funds provide needed maintenance services for:
1. equipment including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, boilers and other pressure
vessels, furnace, fire alarms, and sprinkler, radio repeaters, and security systems;
2. utility systems such as portable water wells, water treatment plans, and water storage tanks; and
3. horizontal infrastructure, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, and landscaping.
Providing adequate maintenance keeps school facilities from deteriorating and can extend the useful life
of a school facility by as much as 50 percent. Not performing essential preventive maintenance activities
or services, as required, directly accelerates the need for costly deferred maintenance projects. More
importantly, the failure of some systems due to lack of maintenance, such as fire protection systems, can
create life-threatening situations for school students, staff, and visitors. If not maintained adequately,
Federal property can place people at risk and increase Federal liabilities or create crisis situations for
schools that may prove harmful, interrupt educational programs for students, or force closure of the
school.
Juvenile Detention Center Education (-$0 / 0 FTE):
IA proposes to transfer this $555,000 for Juvenile Detention Center education to the BIA Public Safety
and Justice program. These funds support education activities in BIA detention centers. Funding is
currently appropriated to the BIE, which then transfers the funds to the BIA Office of Justice Services for
allocation to detention centers. By transferring these funds for direct appropriations to the BIA Office of
Justice Services, it will reduce the time it takes to make these funds available for use at the juvenile
detention centers.
BIE-OIEP-23
Johnson-O’Malley (JOM) Assistance Grants (TPA) ($22,630,000 / +0 FTE) - Ninety-two percent of
American Indian and Alaska Native students attend public schools. JOM funding provides such students
with the necessary resources designed to meet their unique and specialized educational needs. These
funds can provide remedial instruction, counseling, parental involvement, language, and other culturally
relevant programs to Indian students. The JOM funds are also used to cover school supplies and items
that enable recipients to participate in curricular and extra-curricular programs. JOM grant funding may
only be used for students three years of age through the 12th grade and who are enrolled in federally
recognized Tribes or students who are at least one-fourth or more degree Indian blood from a federally
recognized Tribe.

Justification of 2024 Program Changes
The 2024 budget request for Post-Secondary forward funded programs is $133,461,000 and +161 FTE,
a program change of +$3,500,000 and +4 FTE from 2023.
Haskell & S
IPI (Forward Funded) (+$2,000,000 / +4 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase will provide
the two bureau-operated post-secondary schools much needed funding to allow them to properly serve
Indian students from federally recognized Tribes. The program pays for instruction, dormitories,
administration, staff, supplies, materials, and textbooks. The schools strive to offer high-quality
education to American Indians and Alaska Natives with culturally sensitive curricula and innovative
services and a commitment to academic excellence.
Tribal Tech
nical Colleges (Forward Funded) (+$1,500,000 / 0 FTE) - The 2024 requested increase
will support Tribal Technical Colleges’ operational expenses and promote the economic development
plans of the Tribes. The program supports core functions (e.g., classroom instruction and school
operations) at the two colleges partially funded by BIE.
Post Secondary Programs (Forward Funded) Overview
Haskell and SIPI (Forward Funded) ($34,870,000 / 161 FTE) - The BIE’s two directly operated post-
secondary institutions serve Indian students from federally recognized Tribes throughout the country.
Please see the following table for enacted and proposed distribution of funds to these two BIE-operated
post-secondary institutions, including student enrollment and graduation rates at Haskell and SIPI from
Fall Semester 2019 through Summer Semester 2022. Haskell and SIPI utilize these funds to pay for
administrative, instructional, dormitory, and other support staff, as well as supplies, materials, textbooks,
and food. Haskell and SIPI also use these funds to provide residential, athletic, and other student support
services. In addition to funding from the BIE, Haskell and SIPI are eligible for Department of Education
funds (both individual student funds and institutional funds), U.S. Department of Agriculture funding, and
competitive grants from Federal, public, and private agencies.
Haskell Indian Nations University:
Haskell is a post-secondary institution established by Federal legislation to fulfill the United States’ treaty
and trust obligations to provide a high-quality education to American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Haskell is a fully accredited university in Lawrence, KS, offering education to eligible Indian students via
culturally sensitive curricula, innovative services, and a commitment to academic excellence. Annually,
students from over 152 Tribal nations and as many as 36 States create a campus environment diverse in
Indian heritage.
Haskell mai
ntains a consortium program with the University of Kansas that permits students to apply
credits earned at either institution toward graduation requirements. The programs offered have been
identified as necessary to the development of human capital that contributes to the economic success of
native communities. Haskell offers several associate degrees in Arts (AA) and Science (AS), as well as
baccalaureate degrees in Arts (BA) and Science (BS).
BIE-OIEP-25
Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute:
SIPI maintains a culturally supportive educational, social, and physical environment, allowing its students
to develop marketable skills to facilitate gainful employment or transfer to a baccalaureate degree
program. Many of the programs offered at SIPI, located in Albuquerque, NM, meet a specific need
determined by labor market data and consultation between Tribes and its board of regents. SIPI serves
American Indian and Alaska Native students from over 84 nations and as many as 25 states. SIPI further
serves federally recognized Tribes by developing and conducting competitive programs for workforce
needs, extension, and outreach programs, including high-impact community-based programs, workshops,
seminars, and distance learning courses. SIPI has leveraged technology with Go2Orientation and
Go2Distance Learning, which provides online orientation and helps navigate courses through a distance
learning environment.

students) who graduate or transfer to another institution within 150 percent of standard time to complete. The
decline in the # of Students Enrolled and the Graduation Rate for SIPI is due to the COVID -19 Pandemic.
Tribal Colleges and Universities (Forward Funded) ($87,926,000 / 0 FTE) - Tribal Colleges and
Universities (TCUs) provide Tribal communities with the necessary resources and facilities to teach
BIE-OIEP-26
Indian students the skills they need for career success in a culturally knowledgeable context. Post-
secondary education of Tribal members is an essential component in the economic development plans of
Tribes. In many instances, TCUs are the primary means available for Tribes and Indian students to
receive a post-secondary education. Many TCUs have leveraged their BIE funding by teaming with local
and national businesses to provide training-partnership opportunities for Indian students.
During SY 2022-2023, there are 29 TCUs eligible for BIE funding under Title I of Pub.L. 95-471.
According to a formula based on the Indian Student Count (ISC), funds are distributed to these
institutions. The ISC, established in 25, U.S.C.§1801(a)(7), is the number equal to the total number of
Indian students enrolled in each tribally controlled college or university. TCUs can use these funds to pay
for operational expenses at their educational institutions. These include costs such as salaries,
instructional materials, and student support services.
The Pub.L. 99-428, authorizes BIE to provide endowment grants to TCUs. The BIE’s Endowment Grant
funding enables TCUs to develop and offer supplemental grant programs to students needing additional
financial assistance. To use BIE Endowment Grant funds, TCUs must match with a capital contribution
equal to half of the amount of the BIE’s endowment contribution. Alternatively, TCUs may meet their
contribution requirement by using personal or real property received as a donation or gift. Colleges can
obtain additional assistance from other private sector entities to help meet their endowment program
needs. Funds may be invested under the authority of Section 331(c)(2) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended, and any interest earned can be used to defray expenditures associated with the
operation of the TCUs.

Justification of 2024 Program Changes
The 2024 budget request for Post-Secondary programs is $56,107,000 and 0 FTE, a program change
of $0 and 0 FTE from 2023.
Post Secondary Programs Overview
Tribal Colleges & Universities Supplements (TPA) ($1,220,000 / 0 FTE) - Tribes may choose to direct
Tribal Priority Allocations (TPA) funds to supplement the operation of their TCUs. Six Tribes are
currently providing Tribal colleges with these funds. Funds are used for policy development, curriculum
additions, and general program operations designed to meet the specific needs of their community
members.
Scholarships & Adult Education (TPA) ($43,445,000 / 0 FTE) - The intent of the Scholarships and
Adult Education program is to provide funds to assist Tribes in meeting their goal of self-determination
and self-sufficiency. By providing financial assistance to eligible American Indian and Alaska Natives
students, the BIE fosters the development of educated and capable citizens that will affect positive change
in their communities. The Scholarships and Adult Education program addresses Indian Affairs’
objectives: 1) to improve communities’ quality of life by developing economies, 2) to improve the
success of students at each educational level by providing financial assistance for eligible students, and 3)
to increase students engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
related initiatives. The program further supports the commitment to expand educational opportunities for
students.
Special Higher Education Scholarships ($4,992,000 / 0 FTE) - As Tribes seek to develop their
communities in economically disadvantaged rural areas, they require trained professionals to plan and
implement Tribal development goals. Many of these professionals need the knowledge that they can
acquire by pursuing advanced (graduate) degrees. The Special Higher Education Scholarships Program
(SHEP) is a three-pronged program that supports the commitment to education and the goals for higher
education. The first component provides supplemental financial assistance to American Indian and
Alaska Native students for graduate level study. Emphasis is placed on students pursuing the professions
of law, education, medicine, natural resources, engineering, business administration, and social work.
Over the past five years BIE has provided approximately 1,500 SHEP scholarships to well qualified
American Indian and Alaska Native students.
The second component is the Pre-Law Summer Institute (PLSI) ($500,000), an intensive two-month
summer orientation program which prepares American Indian and Alaska Native students entering the
field of law for the rigors of law school. This funding will allow approximately 35 students, plus five
returning students to work as tutors in the program. It will also provide modest need-based scholarships
for roughly 100 program graduates who are attending the first, second, or third year of law school.
Finally, it will also be used to provide need-based bar study stipends for students who need support to be
successful in studying for and passing the bar exam.
The final component is the Loan for Service Program, designed to provide financial assistance through
loans to eligible American Indian and Alaska Native degree candidates who seek employment with BIE,
BIE-OIEP-31
BIA, or a federally recognized Tribe upon graduation. To promote the expansion of career opportunities
for Indian graduates in Tribal governments and Indian Affairs, BIE began offering loans in 2005 to
students pursuing graduate and professional degrees with a “service payback” (employment) agreement.
Upon completion of their degree requirements, recipients agree to work for BIE, BIA, or a federally
recognized Tribe to repay their loans. Each academic year of funding requires one year of service. The
Loan for Service Program is designed to bring professionals to Native communities.
Science Post Graduate Scholarship Fund ($6,450,000 / 0 FTE) - The Science Post-Graduate
Scholarship Fund (SPGSF) program provides funding and awards specifically for post-secondary and
post-graduate-level fellowships and training opportunities. These awards are provided in the fields of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) such as agricultural, geological, and
biological and life sciences, computing, communications, networking, information technology, and
biomedical programs. Over the past five years BIE has provided approximately 750 SPGSF scholarships
to well qualified American Indian and Alaska Native students.
Advanced education in the STEM fields is in greater demand than ever before, particularly in Indian
communities. Many Tribal lands are situated on lands with great natural resource potential that require
individuals with education, skills, and expertise to sustainably develop resources. Indian students in
STEM fields often recognize the importance of reinvesting their knowledge back into their home
communities, bringing their skills back to their home Tribes or other Tribal communities. There is a high
deficiency in Tribal students’ participation in STEM fields and urgency for research to understand why.
A portion of the SPGSF is directed towards graduate level (masters and doctoral) research to understand
the barriers that discourage Indian student participation in these fields and to expand STEM opportunities
at Tribal Colleges and Universities.

an independent bureau by prioritizing hiring that targets capacity building and addresses support gaps in
these key areas:
• Information technology
• Facilities management
• Grants administration
• Acquisition roles in improving our service delivery, procurement, and program support to
stakeholders
Through this activity, the BIE provides management activities crucial for effective operations, including
data collection, analysis, reporting, coordinated fiscal management, risk assessments with corrective
actions, targeted monitoring activities, technical assistance, certain financial and accounting functions,
coordination and preparation of grant applications, and reporting.
Education IT (+$5,676,000 / +2 FTE) - Increased funding will support new educational information
technology (IT) operational capabilities, including infrastructure improvements in connectivity for
learning, to improve the quality of distance and in-person instruction post-pandemic. The increase will
enhance service and acquisition support work on BIE’s education Learning Management System (eLMS)
initiative; increase bandwidth in schools; and support effective eLMS planning for both classroom and
distance learning. Priorities in 2024 will include:
• Upgrade 83 BIE school circuits. Per our quarterly report to Congress, the current objective for
bandwidth at schools is to reach 300Mbps per student and teacher. The upgrade is expected to be
completed by the summer of 2024.
• Select, award, integrate, and implement a shared Education Learning Management System
(eLMS).
• Establish life-cycle management policies and plans for in-school networks, including a
LAN/WAN hardware technical refresh.
• Collaborate with the Deputy Assistant Secretary – Management (DAS-M) and the Assistant Chief
Information Officer (ACIO) to design and build an initial education program for IT managers and
staff cadre.
Education Management Overview
Education Program Management (EPM) ($45,569,000 / 210 FTE) - The BIE is required to execute a
wide variety of management activities. Support services include data collection, analysis, reporting,
coordinated fiscal management, risk assessments with corrective actions, targeted monitoring activities,
technical assistance, certain financial and accounting functions, coordination and preparation of grant
applications, and reporting. BIE will continue implementing the BIE Strategic Direction and Reform
efforts, increasing accountability and transparency throughout the Bureau.
Education Program Management initiatives in 2024 include the continued implementation of a School
Operations Office of Self-Determination to develop Tribal capacity and promote maximum Indian
participation in educational programs and services; the Justice40 Initiative to promote environmental
justice; and BIE’s Social Emotional Learning project to develop a national curriculum to support
behavioral health and wellness programs at BIE-funded schools. The funding in 2024 will also allow
EPM to calculate and report on methodologies for maximizing the benefits to underserved communities.
Education IT ($33,712,000 / 23 FTE) - The BIE information technology (IT) requirements encompass
the multiple and varied needs of students, administrators, teachers, and Headquarters staff. The BIE IT
infrastructure includes the wide area network (WAN) and general support system used by BIE-funded
schools. This infrastructure supports the ability to provide standards-based connectivity, security, content
delivery, web services, distance learning, wireless communication, email access, and education
application access for all BIE school networks. Education IT funding also provides for the BIE student
information data system. The system provides school management software, training, and system support
for management of student academic program data. This centralized database manages records such as
enrollment, attendance, behavior, class schedules, grades, assessments, teacher grade books, health and
immunization data, special education needs, transcripts, parent contact information, and student
BIE-OIEP-33

BUREAU OF INDIAN EDUCATION
EDUCATION CONSTRUCTION SUMMARY
Overview
The Education Construction program carries out facility and structure projects, demolition, and
environmental compliance for education-related assets owned and funded by Indian Affairs (IA).
Within this budget request, the term “Indian Affairs” is meant to include the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA), the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs
(AS-IA). In 2024, IA will manage Education Construction activities through a Service Level Agreement
(SLA) with BIE, as BIE continues its transition to an independent bureau. BIE will work with individual
schools to improve project close-out, once needed repairs are completed and to enhance accuracy of
data and tracking of deferred maintenance needs.
IA owns or provides funding for a broad variety of Indian Education-related buildings, structures, and
other facilities including buildings with historical and architectural significance. The education inventory
includes structures such as schools, employee housing, storage sheds, fences, water and wastewater
systems, and protective structures for pumping systems and other critical sensitive assets.
The IA – Facilities Investment Review Board (IA-FIRB) is the governing body that makes executive-level
decisions regarding the construction and leasing portfolio in support of the Department's missions, goals,
and objectives. The IA-FIRB meets quarterly to consider proposed projects, review the status of ongoing
major capital investments, and provide oversight for adherence to budget, schedule and return on
investment. Following Department approval, construction projects are prioritized and incorporated into the
Five-Year Deferred Maintenance and Construction plan. School construction and repair projects, in
addition to advance planning and design work, are accomplished through Pub.L. 100–297 (25 U.S.C. 2501
et. seq.) grants or Pub.L. 93–638 (25 U.S.C. 5301 et. seq.) subpart J agreements, or through Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracts.
Asset Condition Assessments
IA conducts Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs) to complete a comprehensive condition assessment and
inventory validation of all IA-owned real property assets on a three-year cycle. Deficiencies are identified and
tracked in the IA – Facilities Management System (IA-FMS) as Deferred Maintenance (DM) for the building
or structure. The FCA report and any identified DM are uploaded into IA-FMS for potential future
construction project funding. IA shares the completed report with site and BIA Regional authorities who are
responsible for managing the respective assessed facilities. The responsible authority for schools is typically
the superintendent or principal.
Facility Condition Index
The Facility Condition Index (FCI) is a standard industry measure used to compare the condition of buildings
and facilities. It is calculated by taking the deferred maintenance cost of a facility or building and dividing it
by the current replacement value. The FCI for each building is automatically calculated in IA-FMS and used
along with other criteria to allocate Education Construction funds for renovations and repairs based upon
greatest need. Based on the FCI, buildings and structures are categorized as being in good, fair, or poor
condition. The formula for calculating the FCI and the relation of the FCI to condition categorization are as
BIE-CONST-6
BIE-CONST-7
follows:
Facilities Condition Index (FCI) = Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Deficiencies of the Facility(-ies)
Current Replacement Value of the Facility(-ies)
Facility Condition Categorization
as Measured by FCI
FCI (School
Assets)
FCI (All Others) Condition
< .0500 < .0500
Good
<= .1000 <= .1500
Fair
>.1000 >.1500
Poor
IA uses the FCI and the Asset Priority Index (API) to prioritize improvement, repair, and replacement
projects. The FCI provides a baseline from which IA measures and tracks improvements in asset
conditions and the API indicates the importance of each asset to the organization’s mission.
Education Construction Site Assessment-Capital Investment (SA-CI)
The Education Construction Site Assessment and Capital Investment Program (Education SA-CI) is now
a permanent program which allows IA to prioritize bureau funded K-12 schools based upon two sets of
criteria: their FCI; and the age of school or percent of students educated in portables. Once prioritized,
the schools then undergo a comprehensive third-party assessment of their conditions to determine a
holistic site-by-site solution to providing a safe, secure, healthy, operationally modern, and long-lasting
campus to support the BIE mission to provide quality education opportunities.
Indian Affairs – Facilities Management System
The IA-FMS is the primary information management system used to track and maintain relevant facility
data for each asset. IA uses this data to plan, prioritize, and execute preventive and deferred maintenance
activities to improve the condition of the facilities. IA-FMS also enables BIE to maintain an accurate
inventory of IA real property that synchronizes with the Department of the Interior’s Financial and
Business Management System (FBMS). Information in IA-FMS is used to develop the IA Five-Year
Deferred Maintenance and Construction plan in accordance with the Department of Interior’s annual
planning and prioritization guidance for deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects. The
Plan provides IA with a strategy for addressing facilities with the greatest need with primary focus on
critical health and safety requirements. The goal of the IA Construction program is to bring all facilities
to the “fair” or “good” (acceptable) condition level.
IA also maintains a current and accurate inventory of real property in the Federal Real Property Profile
Management System (FRPP MS) which houses real property data for all Federal agencies. The FRPP
MS includes Government-wide performance metrics such as FCI and operating costs, which further
support IA and BIE management of assets.
BIE-CONST-8
Education Construction
The Education Construction program provides safe, functional, energy-efficient, and universally
accessible facilities at BIE-funded schools and dormitories through school and facility replacements, and
facility improvements and repairs. Approximately 45,000 Indian students, including 1,300 resident-only
boarders, attend the 183 BIE-funded schools and dormitories located in Indian communities in 23 States.
The Education Construction program supports BIE mission accomplishment by renovating or replacing
schools and dormitories to provide an environment conducive to quality educational achievement and
improved opportunities for Indian students. IA further provides 1,609 housing units across 87 sites to
accommodate teachers and other essential school staff.
The major activities associated with the Education Construction program are:
• Replacement School Construction
• Replacement Facility Construction
• Replacement / New Employee Housing
• Employee Housing Repair
• Facility Improvement and Repair
• Tribal Colleges Facility Improvement and Repair
Each program conforms to specified architectural and engineering design codes to ensure the highest
quality standards for education facilities. The design standards apply to all BIE-operated or -funded sites
throughout Indian Country and receive periodic review and updates. They apply equally to tribally or BIE-
operated programs.

Justification of 2024 Program Changes:
The 2024 budget request for the Education Construction program is $416,212,000 and 14 FTE, a program
change of +$148,215,000 and +3 FTE from 2023 Enacted.
Replacement School Construction (+$136,000,000):
The Replacement School Construction program replaces entire school campuses and supports the
Administration’s commitment to invest in Native education, invest in Indian Country infrastructure, and
address racial equity by providing safe, functional, energy-efficient, and accessible facilities at Bureau of
Indian Education (BIE) funded schools and dormitories. Through the Site Assessment Capital Investment
(SA-CI) program, school replacements are addressed in order of priority based on available
appropriations. In 2024, funding will support planning, design, and construction at Cheyenne Eagle
Butte, Cove Day School, Cottonwood Day School, T’iis Nazbas Community School, and Little Wound
Day School.
Replacement – New Employee Housing (+$2,500,000):
The additional funding will support replacement for critical new employee housing units to support the
recruitment and retention of teachers and school leaders at remote locations. Government Furnished
Housing (GFH) units are currently estimated at $420,000 each. This increase will fund approximately six
(6) additional GFH units at locations to be determined.
Facilities Improvement and Repair (+$9,715,000 / +3 FTE):
The increase will assist with the deferred maintenance costs while reducing the deferred maintenance
backlog. Following BIE's project selection criteria, the goal is to improve energy efficiency and safety
while providing quality educational environments conducive to learning. This funding will help BIE
schools that are in poor condition move to the fair or good and acceptable condition level. This increase
accelerates IA’s ability to address life, safety, and accessibility issues for BIE funded school students.
Program Description:
The Education Construction program supports the Administration’s commitment to invest in Native
education, invest in Indian Country infrastructure, and address racial equity by providing safe, functional,
energy-efficient, and accessible facilities at Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) funded schools and
dormitories through school and facility replacement, and facility improvements and repairs. In 2024,
Indian Affairs (IA) will continue to manage Education Construction activities through a Memorandum of
Agreement with BIE, as BIE continues its transition to an independent bureau. The program is supported
by up to an additional $95 million a year from the Great American Outdoors Act.

IA is also continuing planning of the facilities replacement projects at Pine Springs Day School, Aneth
Community School, Pierre Indian Learning Center, and Wa He Lut Indian School. 2024 and prior year
funds will fully fund the Wa He Lut School (2020 SA-CI) project and partially fund San Ildefonso Day
School (2020 SA-CI) project. Any remaining funds will be used for any required supplemental funding
and adjustments for existing projects, and for future projects identified through the SA-CI Program.
Subactivity – Replacement/New Employee Housing (2024: $4,000,000):
Program Overview:
IA continues to conduct need assessments of employee housing at BIE locations to identify and prioritize
2024 quarter projects using the Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) and Site Assessment-Capital
Investment (SA-CI) programs to comprehensively assess employee housing. IA identifies sites for
replacement/building new teacher housing at remote locations where alternative housing is limited or
current facilities are in critical need of replacement. The availability of adequate housing is an essential
component for the recruitment and retention of BIE teachers. There are currently 1,609 housing units at
87 sites for BIE housing. Of the 87 sites, 48 (55%) are rated in poor condition based on an overall
Facilities Condition Index (FCI) score of 0.1850 (>.10 is considered poor).
Subactivity - Employee Housing Repair (2024 $13,595,000; FTE: 1):
Program Overview:
IA maintains employee quarters consisting of single-family houses, duplex, triplex, and apartment units
for essential school employees as determined by the program. The Employee Housing Repair program
funds site-level and major repairs along with remediation of health and safety deficiencies.
Improvements and repairs support the Department of the Interior’s commitment to provide Federal
employees with safe, functional, energy efficient, and cost-effective living quarters. The program also
includes space reduction goals to eliminate uninhabitable or excess units.
Program Management [$706,000; FTE 1]:
Program Management funds are used for administrative costs associated with program oversight, project
management and inspections.
Quarters Improvement and Repair [$10,613,000]:
The Quarters Improvement and Repair (QI&R) program funds are used to correct safety and health
deficiencies and to address deferred maintenance and renovations of quarters units. Quarters Managers
have the responsibility to provide local support to the various site and agency housing managers within
their specific geographic area.
Quarters Emergency Repairs [$200,000]:
The Quarters Emergency Repairs program funds are used to address immediate threats to life, property or
health at BIE housing sites resulting from catastrophic failures, fire, wind, water damage, or other causes.
Funds are used to address failing utility systems, infrastructure, and restoration to a functional condition.
BIE-CONST-22
Quarters Environmental Projects [$776,000]:
The Quarters Environmental Projects program funds are used to assess, characterize, remediate and
monitor potential or actual releases of environmental contaminants. Work will include the upgrade and
replacement of fuel oil tanks, removal and disposal of contaminated soils and hazardous materials and
abatement of asbestos and lead-based paint, and sampling and analysis of environmental contaminants.
Quarters Demolition [$1,300,000]:
Quarters Demolition program funds are used for disposal of housing units identified as uninhabitable and
in an unacceptable condition. Disposal of uninhabitable housing reduces the Deferred Maintenance
(DM) backlog by eliminating the structures, and the associated DM, from the IA housing inventory.
Subactivity - Facilities Improvement and Repair (FI&R) (2024: $106,178,000; FTE: 13):
Program Overview:
The Facilities Improvement and Repair (FI&R) funds are used to improve the safety and functionality of
facilities on school campuses. IA will seek to maximize the utility and prolong the useful life of
education buildings by improving or rehabilitating facilities as part of a comprehensive approach that
includes major and minor facilities improvement, facility condition assessments, targeted projects, and
compliance activities.
Program Management [$8,578,000]:
Program Management provides for program and administrative management costs associated with the
execution of the program. The IA-Facilities Management System (IA-FMS) is funded in part from these
funds. Program Management funds support IA staff within the Office of Facilities, Property, and Safety
Management (OFPSM) who perform asset management, and staff from the Division of Facilities
Management and Construction (DFMC) who provide program oversight, direction, technical assistance,
and direct project management of high cost and complexity projects. Technical assistance is provided to
Tribal, BIA, and BIE customers to assist in planning, design, construction, renovation, and major
maintenance projects. In addition, experienced and knowledgeable teams perform program evaluations
to ensure facility construction and operation and maintenance programs conform to DOI and IA policy,
laws, and regulations. Program evaluation reviews help ensure safety and health standards are met, work
conforms to approved drawings and specifications, and Regions and Agencies are knowledgeable of IA
policy, processes, and best practices.
Advance Planning and Design [$5,000,000]:
Advance Planning and Design program funds provide for preliminary planning of schools on the
replacement school and replacement facilities listings and major improvement and repair projects
included in the Department’s Five-Year Deferred Maintenance and Capital Improvement plan. In 2022,
the FI&R program shifted to a centralized project planning model for designing major FI&R projects and
site planning. By applying funds in this manner, IA will ensure more effective transitioning from
planning to design and construction with improved control of overall project cost and time.
Major Improvement and Repair [$32,000,000]:
Major Improvement and Repair (MI&R) program funds support abatement of critical deficiencies
exceeding $250,000, but less than education facility replacement program consideration. Major FI&R
BIE-CONST-23
projects improve the safety and functionality of facilities and repair or replace major capital equipment,
and in doing so, move facilities and sites closer to a status of fair or a better condition as measured by the
FCI. Funds will be used to correct priority deficiencies, beginning with critical safety & health issues,
and as assessed using the IA Supplemental Project Scoring Guidelines for 5-year Capital Improvement
Planning. A list of current prioritized projects is presented to the IA Facilities Investment Review Board
(IA-FIRB) annually. Correction of these items is critical for IA’s compliance with accessibility
requirements; Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements; National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA); and other life safety code requirements.
These projects will advance BIE’s ability to provide a healthy, safe, and positive environment for students
and staff, allow accessibility to up-to-date technologies and enhance student learning capabilities and will
improve the FCI of individual buildings and school sites. Additional expected outcomes include
improved costs and efficiencies through the design and installation of high-performance energy efficient
building systems.
Minor Improvement and Repair [$30,000,000]:
These funds are primarily for serious health and safety deficiencies existing in the backlog or identified in
an annual health and safety inspection with completed abatement plans that are not included in the annual
O&M program. BIE has some discretion to repair and replace other critical systems in accordance with
guidance provided by DFMC.
The deficiencies scheduled for correction are in the following categories: 1) critical health and safety
deficiencies, and 2) mechanical, electrical, and other building systems to include grounds improvements.
Funds for the abatement of identified deficiencies will be in accordance with accessibility requirements,
EPA requirements, National Fire Protection Association, and other applicable safety code requirements.
Prioritization of deficiencies for 2024 is based on project scoring criteria incorporated into the IA-FMS.
Final project lists will be developed using guidance provided by DFMC to the BIE and IA regional
facilities staff working with each school location to identify deficiencies. The work will be accomplished
by each location where feasible via Pub. L. 100-297 grants, Pub. L. 93-638 subpart J contracts, or FAR
contracts.
Facility Condition Assessments [$4,000,000]:
Funds are used to complete a comprehensive condition assessment and inventory validation of all IA-
owned real property assets on a three-year cycle. The IA real property portfolio for education facilities,
including academic and housing quarters, consists of approximately 22.7 million gross square feet
contained in over 3,648 facilities located at 179 locations in 23 States. The condition assessments
identify new and validate existing deficiencies in IA-FMS to facilitate the allocation of resources to help
maintain IA real property portfolio assets at an operational level, as well as extend the useful life of the
asset. Facilities inspections include standard elements identified such as fire and life safety, HVAC
systems, electrical systems, structural integrity, and other elements. Assets include building and housing
units, roads, recreation facilities, water and power facilities, storage facilities, garages (employee housing
and non-housing structures), and existing structure operation support systems, i.e., infrastructure of the
identified location.
BIE-CONST-24
Asset Disposal [$6,000,000]:
Funds are used for space reduction activities in the education program. The asset portfolio and Space
Management Plan (SMP), as derived from the DOI Asset Management Plan (AMP), contains a five-year
space reduction plan, which is the vehicle for implementing the space goals through consolidation,
colocation, and disposal of assets. The goal of space management is achieved by eliminating unnecessary
space while maintaining facilities to meet mission-related needs. The SMP identifies BIE-owned assets
nationwide which have been determined to be in excess of program needs and are not considered viable
for continued use by consolidation or renovation. Subsequently, these assets have been designated for
disposal via demolition or transfer.
Riverside Indian School
Emergency Repair [$6,000,000]:
Funds will be used as necessary to support the Emergency Reimbursement Program (ERP). IA has the
responsibility of providing safe facilities and when a facility related emergency occurs that presents an
immediate threat to life or property, IA must correct the situation as soon as possible. To do so, IA
established the ERP which is managed by DFMC. This program covers projects that are outside of
coverage from the Minor Improvement and Repair Program (MI&R).
Environmental Projects [$3,000,000]:
Funds will be used to continue efforts to abate environmental hazards in accordance with environmental
laws and regulations. Specifically, funds will be used to assess, characterize, remediate, and monitor
potential or actual releases of environmental contaminants at BIE-owned education facilities.
Environmental projects will include the upgrade or replacement of storage tanks, wastewater systems,
water systems, water towers or wells; removal and disposal of contaminated soils and hazardous or toxic
materials; abatement of asbestos and lead paint; and sampling and analysis of environmental
contaminants, including testing for and mitigation of radon gas. Compliance will minimize or eliminate
public exposure to environmental hazards. Material is properly handled by trained and qualified
contractors and disposed of at approved locations proximate to various project locations.
BIE-CONST-25
BIE-CONST-26
Portable Classroom Buildings [$5,000,000]:
Due to short-term variations in enrollment or when development of a new permanent facility is pending,
IA will construct, transport, repair, install, and relocate portable buildings at various sites. The work
may also include
constructing infrastructure associated with building utilities and vehicle and pedestrian
walkways necessary for completion and operation of the portable buildings.
Energy Program [$3,000,000]:
The energy program will continue to accomplish the legislative goals mandated by the following
documents:
• Energy Policy Act of 2022 Pub. L. 109-58
• Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), Pub. L. 110-140. Requirements for the
EISA Energy Assessments are incorporated in the Facility Condition Assessment Contract scope.
• Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program Energy Metering Guidance, issued
October 2022
• The Federal Building Performance Standard, issued December 2022
• Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings, issued December 2020. Requirements for
the Sustainability Site Assessments are incorporated in the Facility Condition Assessment
Contract Scope.
• The Federal Sustainability Plan, issued December 2021
Additionally, the Energy Program will support the governmental wide transition to fleet EVs by
installing EV charging stations. Locations will be determined by and coordinated with the IA Fleet
EV acquisition and distribution annual plan.
Education Telecommunications [$3,000,000]:
Funds will be used for the continued narrow band radio conversion mandated by 47 CFR Section 300,
which requires replacement of all Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF)
systems. Infrastructure communications systems and radio mobile and portable unit improvements will
be provided to schools. Funds will be used for management administration, providing technical
assistance, and the immediate repair or replacement of unanticipated life/safety and other facility
deficiencies affected by the education telecommunication infrastructure. Examples of repairs include
repair or replacement of radio towers and base
stations or telephone switching systems and infrastructure.

Boiler Inspec
tions [$500,000]:
Funds will be used for inspections and repair of boilers for the BIE-funded
schools. Inspection of boilers are required to ensure that all boilers and pressure
vessels within IA facilities are inspected, operated and maintained by trained,
qualified and certified personnel in accordance with the National Board Inspection
Code and other applicable national or state codes, standards and regulations.
The National B
oard Inspection Code (NBIC), first published in 1945 as a guide for
chief inspectors, has become an internationally recognized standard, adopted by
most US and Canadian jurisdictions. The NBIC provides standards for the
installation, inspection, and repair and/or alteration of boilers, pressure vessels,
and pressure relief devices. IA and DFMC have adopted the NBIC as well as
other related national codes as part of its Boiler and Pressure Vessel Policy.
Seismic Saf
ety Data [$100,000]:
Funds will be used for structural design of buildings requiring seismic retrofitting. This program is in
compliance with provisions of Executive Order 12941, Seismic Safety of Existing Federally Owned or
Leased Buildings, which requires Federal agencies to assess and enhance the seismic safety of existing
buildings that were designed and constructed without adequate seismic design and construction methods.

Tribal Colleges Facilities Improvement & Repair (2024: $16,000,000):
Program Overview:
Congress has recognized that many Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) have significant unfunded
needs. The BIE and IA conducted Tribal Consultations with Tribal leaders and other stakeholders in May
2021 to request input on developing a methodology for determining TCU operating and maintenance
needs to inform future budget requests. As a result of the Tribal Consultations, the funds are equally
divided and distributed among the TCUs.

Project Description:
Phase II – Design and Construction - Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School serves 937 students in grades K-12 and is
located in Eagle Butte, SD. This project replaces the current CEB campus, which consists of 12 permanent
structures and site/grounds work. A need for 30 Staff Quarters has been identified. Existing quarters will be
assessed to determine suitability for reuse. All new academic facilities will conform to the Federal Sustainable
Building requirements and be designed using Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines
and green building products and will conserve water and energy resources to the greatest extent possible. Upon
completion of the new facility, the existing school buildings will be demolished or transferred.

Project Description:
Cottonwood Day School, located in Chinle, AZ, is a Bureau Operated school serving 174 students in grades
K – 8. This project will replace the current Cottonwood Day School campus, which consists of three major
buildings and several smaller support structures. All new academic facilities will conform to the Federal
Sustainable Building requirements and be designed using Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design
(LEED) Silver guidelines and green building products and will conserve water and energy resources to the
greatest extent possible. Upon completion of the new facilities, the existing school buildings will be disposed
of.
This includes major site infrastructure activities such as assessment and possible replacement of water
distribution system, electrical distribution, and vehicular circulation. A varied approach will be applied to
pavement repair, i.e., replacing what is beyond salvaging and rehabilitating other pavements considered to be in
serviceable condition. There will be significant improvements to the athletic field areas. Improvements to the
overall site drainage and grading will include removing debris piles that have accumulated along curb gutters.
Scope of Benefits (SB):
Project Selection Criteria / Strategy Alignment:
• Restore & Protect High Visitation / Public Use Facilities
• Improve ADA Accessibility
• Expand Recreation Opportunities and Public Access
• Remediate Poorest FCI Facilities
• 2.1 Reduce Deferred Maintenance

• 2.3 Reduce Annual Operating Costs
• 2.4 Replacement of Assets
• 3.1 Address Safety Issues
• 3.2 Protect Employees / Improve Retention
• 4.1 Modernize Infrastructure
Investment Strategy (IS):
• The entire project would be considered capital improvement.
• The current existing Deferred Maintenace Work Order (DMWO) list, upon completion of the project,
will be reduced to zero.
• New facility will reduce the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs to those related to ongoing
maintenance of new equipment, which will provide a net reduction in O&M funding from current
levels.

Consequences of Failure to Act (CFA):
Without this project operation and maintenance costs will continue to increase due to increasingly poor system
performance. Student performance will also continue to be impaired by inadequate facilities incapable of
addressing modern educational requirements.

possible. Upon completion of the new facilities, the existing school buildings will be disposed of.
This includes major site infrastructure activities such as assessment and possible replacement of water
distribution system, electrical distribution, and vehicular circulation. A varied approach will be applied to
pavement repair, i.e., replacing what is beyond salvaging and rehabilitating other pavements considered to be in

Legacy Restoration Fund (GAOA)
BIE-GAOA-1
National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF)
Great American Outdoors Act
Bureau of Indian Education
Program Overview
The Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) is historic legislation that combines a financial commitment
to conservation and recreation for future generations with a significant investment in the facilities needed
to carry out Interior’s important mission, including the care and maintenance of America’s national
treasures. This investment provides an unprecedented opportunity to address the Department of the
Interior’s deferred maintenance backlog and restore deteriorating assets. To do so effectively requires
investment prioritization and a sound program execution and management strategy.
The Department of the Interior is responsible for administering and implementing GAOA’s National
Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF) program, which is shared with the U.S. Forest
Service. For fiscal years 2021 through 2025, Congress authorized up to $1.9 billion annually to be
deposited in the LRF Fund for projects that address deferred maintenance. The annual deposit is equal to
50 percent of energy development revenues from oil, gas, coal, alternative, or renewable energy on
Federal land and water credited, covered, or deposited into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts under
Federal law in the preceding fiscal year.
BIE GAOA LRF Program
The BIE’s FY 2024 GAOA LRF list builds upon a total campus replacement project derived from the
2019 SA-CI list at Shonto Preparatory School by investing a second year of funding in the school’s
quarters for teachers and staff. BIE’s FY 2024 list also requests funding to commence a total campus
replacement of Kinteel Residential Campus starting with replacing the dormitory, bus shelter, and
maintenance shop. The estimated deferred maintenance addressed for Shonto Preparatory School
Quarters is approximately $5.2 million, and the estimated deferred maintenance addressed for Kinteel
Residential Campus is approximately $11.3 million, for a total amount of $16.5 million. These deferred
maintenance figures are based on deferred work orders at each site that will be retired by the construction
of the new campuses. These deferred maintenance addressed estimates reflect work orders that BIE
expects to close at project completion. These estimates are for all fiscal years that the projects are to be
funded and they are not prorated by specific fiscal year.
FY 2023 Planned Accomplishments
The BIE’s FY 2023 GAOA LRF list is comprised of a total campus replacement project at Shonto
Preparatory School and replacement and major renovation and additional new units of employee quarters
at Wounded Knee District School. The Shonto Preparatory School projects will address approximately
$48.3 million in deferred maintenance, and the Wounded Knee Quarters project is expected to address
approximately $4.4 million, for a total deferred maintenance addressed of $52.7 million.

FY 2024 Previously Unavailable (from FY 2023) 5,415
FY 2024 Proposed Projects 95,000
Total Available/Unallocated (estimate) 0
Selection Process
BIE focuses its strategy on three priority areas to identify projects: accelerate the completion of the
Replacement Construction and Facility Improvement and Repair (FI&R) backlog; demolition of unsafe
and uninhabitable buildings and provide for safe campus environments; and Quarters Improvement and
Repair, which significantly affects the health and retention of school staff that reside in these quarter
units. The FY 2024 project list meets the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs (AS-IA) and BIE’s vision to
improve the safety and overall condition of education facilities, address the deferred maintenance
backlog, protect critical resources, and provide environments conducive to learning.
Indian Affairs (IA) selects school locations for consideration using the Education Site Assessment Capital
Investment (SA-CI) Program according to the following criteria:
• Facility Condition Index (FCI) of >0.10 (Poor Condition); or
• Facilities that are 50 years of age or older; and
• 75% or more of students are educated in portable facilities; and
• Not already addressed by another program (FI&R, Facility Replacement, No Child Left Behind).
BIE Process - IA followed the September 2021 Indian Affairs Manual (80 IAM 11) “Education
Construction Site Assessment and Capital Investment Program” process for completing holistic
assessments and recommending actions to the IA Facilities Investment Review Board (FIRB) for
approval. GAOA LRF Projects were selected, prioritized, and approved by the FIRB according to
program needs.
Project List
Consistent with Congressional direction, BIE submits the following Legacy Restoration Fund projects as
part of the FY 2024 Budget process. Detailed project data sheets will be submitted separately for each
identified project. The project lists below have been thoroughly considered and vetted and are considered
ready for implementation in FY 2024. The Department will keep Congress informed should the
circumstances of a specific project change during the course of the FY 2024 Budget process.
The FY 2024 project list below assumes the full $1.9 billion allowable for deposit into the Legacy
Restoration Fund is realized. Because determination of the deposit relies on the amount of qualifying
BIE-GAOA-3
energy revenue collected in the prior year, the actual amount available for FY 2024 projects will not be
finalized until the start of FY 2024. Projects listed below are ranked and prioritized. BIE will select and
implement projects based on the prioritized list below until the LRF allocation is exhausted net of the
mandatory funding sequester (5.7% of funding) and previously unavailable (sequestration “pop up”).
Projects not funded with the FY 2024 allocation may be considered for FY 2025 implementation.

FY 2024 Planned Accomplishments
Shonto Preparatory School Employee Housing New (Replacement) or Improvement Repair:
FY 2024 GAOA LRF funding will complete funding for the Shonto Preparatory Quarters, located in the
Navajo region. This project will consist of the replacements and major renovations of employee quarters
resulting in approximately $5.2 million of deferred maintenance addressed and is anticipated to reduce
operating costs and improve energy efficiency going forward.
Kinteel Residential Campus:
FY 2024 GAOA LRF funding will partially fund the total campus replacement of Kinteel Residential
Campus. The BIE estimates approximately $11.3 million of deferred maintenance will be retired at the
completion of this project and is anticipated to reduce operating costs and improve energy efficiency
going forward. In addition to substantially reducing BIE’s deferred maintenance backlog, this project will
also improve energy efficiency and safety while providing an educational environment conducive to
learning, in accordance with BIE’s project selection criteria.

Title Description
OPERATION OF INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAMS
BUREAU OF INDIAN
EDUCATION
Education is critical to ensuring a viable and prosperous future for tribal
communities and supports the Department’s effort to serve these
communities. The BIE serves approximately 45,000 students in 183 schools
and dormitories located in 23 states. BIE operates two colleges at the post-
secondary level, administers grants for 29 Tribally operated colleges, and
funds two tribal technical colleges.
Elementary and Secondary
(forward funded)
A0E30
ISEP Formula Funds The ISEP formula funds serve as the primary funding source for educational
programs at BIE-funded elementary and secondary schools. These funds
are the single largest component of BIE funding and are provided directly to
schools. Funds cover the majority of the costs of running elementary and
secondary education programs including teacher and administrative salaries,
basic instruction, gifted and talented programs, residential programs, food
services, and summer programs.
A0E31
ISEP Program Adjustments The ISEP Program Adjustments funding enables BIE-funded schools to
respond to specific findings of need or deficiencies, provide safe and secure
programs, security contracts, and behavioral health services.
A0E43
Education Program
Enhancements
The Education Program Enhancement subactivity enables BIE to provide
services and necessary resources to meet the unique needs and priorities of
individual tribes and their schools, by providing school improvement
initiatives, native language programs, and teacher retention and recruitment.
A0E47
Tribal Education Departments This program aims to build the capacity of Tribal Education Departments
(TEDs) so they can coordinate educational services within reservations to
serve all tribal members better. The program creates opportunities to
strengthen TED's engagement with other school systems operating within
tribal reservations. The program works to strengthen the management and
oversight of the education programs, including BIE-funded schools, school
operations, adult education, scholarships, and other programs funded by the
tribe and other Federal agencies under their jurisdiction. The first step for
many tribes is adopting and updating tribal education codes to align a tribal
education vision with policy. The goal is to prioritize tribes with more than
three BIE-funded schools on their reservation to establish a Tribally
managed school system.
A0E32
Student Transportation The BIE Transportation funds are used to pay for bus leases, fuel,
maintenance, vehicle replacement, driver salaries, and staff training for bus
drivers and transportation managers. In addition, BIE Transportation funds
also cover the commercial costs of transporting students to boarding schools
within the BIE school system at the beginning and end of each school year;
some students are provided an additional round trip home at mid-year.

Description of BIE Programs
(This table only outlines existing funds through 2023 within individual program elements. Descriptions do not include any funding that is being requested in FY 2024.)
A0E33
Early Childhood and Family
Development
The program offers support for Family and Child Education (FACE) sites
and early childhood activities. Funds assist tribes in addressing the
achievement gap for Indian children up to five years of age primarily
located on rural reservations by teaching preschoolers and their families the
skills needed to begin school. In addition, the preschool program will
provide school readiness for standard-based kindergarten and establish
parent engagement between home and school.
A0E34
Tribal Grant Support Costs Tribal Grant Support Costs are designed to ensure that BIE provides the
necessary administrative costs that accompany the operation and
management of Tribally controlled elementary or secondary educational
programs. Tribes operating BIE-funded schools use these funds to cover the
overhead costs of running a school, meet legal requirements, and carry out
support functions that BIE would otherwise provide directly.
Elementary/Secondary
Programs
A0E35
Facilities Operations Schools are operated and maintained to ensure their continued safety and
usefulness for educational purposes. The program funds operational
expenses for educational facilities at BIE-funded schools and dorms it has in
the school system. The everyday costs of operating BIE-funded schools are
electricity, heating fuels, communications, grounds maintenance, vehicle
rental (excluding school buses), refuse collection, custodial services, pest
control, water, sewer service, fire/intrusion monitoring, and operations
program administration.
A0E45
Facilities Maintenance Funds requested for Facilities Maintenance will be used to conduct
preventive, routine cyclic, and unscheduled maintenance for all school
buildings, equipment, utility systems, and ground structures.
A0E37
Juvenile Detention Center
Education
The Juvenile Detention Education program is designed to meet the
education and health-related needs of American Indian and Alaska Native
youth detained or incarcerated in BIA-funded juvenile detention centers for
an extended period of time. This subactivity coordinates with the student’s
home, Indian Health Service, and the Office of Tribal Justice Support to
allow for the continuous education of the student in the core subjects of
math and language arts during the student’s absence from school.
A0E90
Johnson-O'Malley Assistance
Grants (TPA)
The majority of American Indian and Alaska Native students attend public
schools. JOM grants provide these students with resources that help them
stay in school and increase their chances of success. Typically, these funds
offer remedial instruction, counseling, and cultural programs and cover
small but important needs such as school supplies and items that enable
recipients to participate in curricular and extra-curricular programs.
Post Secondary Programs

Haskell and SIPI (forward
funded)
The BIE’s two directly operated post-secondary institutions serve Indian
students from federally recognized tribes throughout the country. Haskell
and SIPI utilize these funds to pay for administrative, instructional,
dormitory, and other support staff and supplies, materials, textbooks, and
food. Haskell and SIPI also use these funds to provide residential, athletic,
and other student support services. In addition to funding from the BIE,
Haskell and SIPI are eligible for Department of Education funds (both
individual student funds and institutional funds), U.S. Department of
Agriculture funding, and competitive grants from Federal, public, and
private agencies.
A0E44
Tribal Colleges and
Universities (forward funded)
The Tribal Colleges and Universities address the needs of some of the most
economically depressed regions in Indian Country. The colleges are
primarily located on remote reservations and serve American Indian
communities with limited access to other post-secondary institutions.
Chartered by tribal governing bodies and governed by local boards of
regents, TCUs are predominantly two-year institutions that successfully
overcome longstanding barriers to Indian higher education. The tribal
colleges strictly adhere to the standards of mainstream accreditation
associations.
A0E48
Tribal Technical Colleges
(Forward Funded)
Tribal Technical Colleges (forward funded) program provides funding for
United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) and Navajo Technical University
(NTU). The program supports core functions (e.g., classroom instruction
and school operations) at the two colleges partially funded by BIE. Tribal
technical colleges provide resources and facilities to teach community
members the skills they need to succeed in the workforce and overcome
barriers to Indian higher education while supporting economic development
on their reservations.
Post Secondary Programs
A0E92
Tribal Colleges & Universities
Supplements (TPA)
Tribes may choose to direct Tribal Priority Allocations (TPA) funds to
supplement the operation of their Tribal Colleges and Universities. Funds
are used for policy development, curriculum additions, and general program
operations designed to meet the specific needs of their community members.
A0E93
Scholarships and Adult
Education (TPA)
The Scholarships and Adult Education program addresses Indian
Education's objectives to : 1) improve communities’ quality of life by
developing economies, 2) improve the success of students at each
educational level by providing financial assistance for eligible students, and
3) increase students engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) related initiatives. The program further supports
the commitment to expand educational opportunities for students.

Special Higher Education
Scholarships
The Special Higher Education Scholarships Program (SHEP) supports the
BIE’s goals for education through supplemental financial assistance to
Indian students for graduate-level study. Emphasis is placed on students
pursuing law, education, medicine, natural resources, engineering, business
administration, and social work. The Loan for Service Program is designed
to provide financial assistance through loans to eligible Native American
degree candidates who seek employment with BIE, BIA, or a federally
recognized tribe upon graduation. A “service payback” (employment)
agreement allows recipients to agree to work for BIE, BIA, or federally
recognized tribe to repay their loans. Each academic year of funding
requires one year of service. The program is designed to bring professionals
to Native communities.
A0E46
Science Post Graduate
Scholarship Fund
The Science Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund (SPGSF) program provides
funding and awards for post-secondary and post-graduate-level fellowships
and training opportunities. These awards are provided in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), such as agricultural,
geological, biological, life sciences, computing, communications,
networking, information technology, and biomedical programs.

A0E50
Education Program
Management
The Education Program Management (EPM) provides oversight of the
Headquarters office in Washington, D.C., BIE Albuquerque Center, ADD
offices, and a field organization of fifteen Education Resource Centers
(ERC). Central management provides policy direction and exercises line
authority over ERC and two BIE funded post-secondary institutions. In
addition, BIE management provides oversight to local on-reservation day
and boarding schools, off-reservation residential schools, and peripheral
dormitories housing students attending public schools. Leadership and
support services carried out by BIE EPM staff includes: data collection,
analysis, reporting, coordinated fiscal management, risk assessments with
corrective actions, targeted monitoring activities, major fiscal repairs,
technical assistance, budget execution and formulation, and financial and
accounting functions.
A0E41
Education IT The BIE information technology (IT) requirements encompass the multiple
and varied needs of students, administrators, teachers, and Headquarters
staff. This program funds BIE IT infrastructure, including the Educational
Native American Network (ENAN), which provides the technical
infrastructure that connects BIE locations and the Internet and the Native
American Student Information System (NASIS), a web-based application
for BIE data collection and analysis. The program also addresses the
increasing need for bandwidth and support of high-cost special fiber
construction efforts, as well as the increasing monthly circuit costs for
schools in remote locations. In addition, the program supports distant
learning by enhancing BIE educational technology in deploying a standard
Education Learning Management System (eLMS) across BIE-operated
schools and ensuring students have functional laptops and equipment to
obtain a Wi-Fi signal.

Distributio
n of ISEP Funds for School Year 2022-2023
The distribution of Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) Funds for School Year 2022-2023,
reflects distribution of the ISEP funding to each school for the most recent school year. Allocation to
individual schools is determined by formula and funds are available to the schools in July for the
forthcoming school year. As allowed by law, a portion of the total funding is withheld from the initial
distribution as a reserve to cover any ISEP appeals or school emergencies. All funds remaining after
resolution of appeals and emergency distributions are subsequently distributed to the schools using the
distribution formula. A detailed report of the distribution of the reserved (contingency) funds is contained
in Appendix 1-8.
