Jkt 253001
from the U.S. Department of Education
and the Centers for Disease Control and
invites stakeholders to provide input
regarding additional needs and
resources to ensure the safety and
wellbeing of students at BIE schools.
Among the items BIE is specifically
considering as it undertakes reopening
schools are:
• What is needed to ensure student
safety when using commercial
transportation services before students
travel to a residential facility and when
they travel home?
• Would you recommend that
students be vaccinated before arriving
on campus if vaccinations are available?
• What are your recommendations to
serve students that plan to attend
residential facilities and post-secondary
institutions from communities with
high rates of COVID–19?
• Are there any recommendations for
grades K–12 and residential facilities
not already addressed by ED and CDC
reopening guidance that requires
additional clarification or guidance by
BIE?
BIE-operated schools include three
categories, each of which BIE will plan
for separately:
1. Schools serving grades K–12;
2. BIE residential facilities; and
3. Post-secondary institutions
(specifically, Haskell Indian Nations
University and Southwest Indian
Polytechnic Institute (SIPI)).
The intended purpose of this
stakeholder engagement is to ensure that
BIE is meeting the needs of its students,
schools, and Tribal communities during
the COVID–19 Pandemic recovery. BIE
has invited Tribes to Tribal consultation
sessions by letter.
