reforming and improving elementary
and secondary school programs that
serve Indian students. The Department
funds comprehensive programs that are
designed to help Indian students meet
the same State academic content and
student academic achievement
standards used for all students while
addressing the language and cultural
needs of Indian students. Such

professional development of teachers of
Indian students.
In addition, under section 7116 of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), the
Secretary will, upon receipt of an
acceptable plan for the integration of
education and related services, and in

the funds under this program to
consolidate all Federal formula funds
that are to be used exclusively for
Indian students. Instructions for
submitting an integration of education
and related services plan are included
in the EASIE, which is described
elsewhere in this notice under
Application Process and Submission

(a) In open consultation with parents and
teachers of Indian students and, if

schools, including through public hearings
held to provide a full opportunity to

recommendations regarding the program
(section 7114(c)(3)(C) of the ESEA); (b) with
the participation of a parent committee
selected in accordance with section
7114(c)(4) of the ESEA; and, (c) with the
