SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds
Act (ESSA), on a national, regional, or
Tribal basis, as appropriate, taking into
account the unique circumstances and
needs of such schools and the students
served by such schools. See 84 FR
26785. The final rule published in the
Federal Register on March 26, 2020.
The Agency Plan is a Consolidated State
Plan aligned to the U.S. Department of
Education Consolidated State Plan
Template.
BIE’s Agency Plan is intended to
provide details on how the BIE should
implement the requirements for
standards, assessments, and
accountability system for BIE-funded
schools. As such, during consultation
BIE seeks input from Indian Tribes,
school boards, parents, Indian
organizations, and other interested
parties regarding best practices for
school improvement and support to
lowest performing schools as well as the
overall vision for improving outcomes
for BIE-funded school students as
defined in 25 CFR part 30. BIE also
seeks input regarding those parts of the
draft BIE Agency Plan that have not
been established as requirements
through the final rule.
Further, BIE would appreciate input
regarding long-term goals and annual
meaningful differentiation and
identification of schools
(comprehensive support and
improvement activities and targeted
support and improvement activities),
and any other suggestions that would
improve BIE’s delivery of high-quality
educational services and supports to
students at BIE funded schools.
