Abstract: ‘‘Indian EducationIndividual Reporting on Regulatory
Compliance Related to the Indian
Education Professional Development
Program’s Service Obligation and the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA)’’.
The Indian Education Professional
Development program, authorized
under title VII, part A of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965,
as amended (ESEA), is designed to
increase the number of, provide training
to, and improve the skills of American
Indian or Alaska Natives serving as
teachers and school administrators in
schools serving American Indian or
Alaska Native students.
Section 7122(h) of the ESEA (20
U.S.C. 7442(h)) requires that individuals
who receive financial assistance through
the Indian Education Professional
Development program subsequently

regulations must repay all or a pro-rated

accordance with 20 U.S.C. 7442(h) and
34 CFR 263.8(a)(3). The regulations in
part 263 implement requirements
governing, among other things, the
service obligation and reporting
requirements of the participants in the
Indian Education Professional
Development program, and repayment
of financial assistance by these
participants. In order for the Federal
Government to ensure that the goals of
the program are achieved, certain data
collection, recordkeeping, and
documentation are necessary.
In addition, GPRA requires Federal
agencies to establish performance
measures for all programs, and the
Department has established
performance measures for the Indian
Education Professional Development
program. Data collection from
participants who have received
financial assistance under the Indian
Education Professional Development
program is a necessary element of the
Department’s effort to evaluate progress
on these measures.
The Department tracks participants
who are receiving or have previously
received support through the Indian
Education Professional Development
program. Participants must sign a
payback agreement that includes contact
information. Additionally, the
Department receives information about
participants from institutions of higher
education (IHEs) and other eligible
grantees when participants are no longer
receiving assistance through the Indian
Education Professional Development
program. When the performance period
is complete, the participant data are
collected from the grantee and also from
the participants.
