Tribal Consultation Booklet: January 1991-March 1994.
Bureau of Indian Affairs (Dept. of Interior), Washington, DC. Office of Indian Education Programs.
"Tribal Consultation Booklets" are the records and background materials of the meetings between Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) staff and tribal representatives, parents, school boards, and other interested parties in ten states, concerning potential changes or issues relating to Indian Education Programs. Such consultation meetings are held 2-3 times per year, with each meeting usually considering 4-7 topics. This document consists of records for the eight meetings held from January 1991 through March 1994, approximately a three-year period. Typical topics reported on are as follows: proposed regulations to establish standardized administrative procedures for operating and administering an educational program for Indian adults; proposed regulations to establish minimum program standards for the operation of early childhood development programs; proposed amendments that set out provisions by which dormitory standards may be waived and that require school children to be immunized against childhood diseases according to the regulations of the state where they attend school; identification of current and proposed advocacy activities for Indian students attending public schools, including activities carried out by tribes, the federal government, states, or organizations; proposed amendments to federal legislation that would expand tribally controlled school grants to include such educational programs as Johnson O'Malley, higher education scholarships, and adult education; proposed BIA policy supporting full inclusion of children with disabilities in the regular classroom; proposal to include the Indian School Equalization Program and tribally controlled community college funds in the Self-Governance Demonstration Project; proposed task force to assess the role of BIA in Alaska Native Education; proposed study of potential arrangements under which a tribe could construct an educational facility with a guaranteed annual lease payment from the BIA to pay back the costs of construction; and proposal to create a national association of tribal/BIA Johnson O'Malley program directors.
