Overview
The act establishes a framework for improving the educational outcomes of Indian students, reaching both elementary and secondary schooling and post-secondary education. It creates an Indian education division within the state education agency, led by an assistant secretary, and supports that office with an advisory council, a dedicated fund, and rulemaking authority. School districts are given their own obligations under the act — conducting needs assessments, using student data, prioritizing budgets accordingly, and reporting on their efforts.
