Native American Education Opportunity Act
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
<p><strong>Native American Education Opportunity Act</strong></p> <p>This bill addresses education savings account programs and charter schools for tribal students. </p> <p>Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Education and the Department of the Interior, at the request of federally recognized Indian tribes, to provide funds to tribes for tribal-based education savings account programs. Tribes must use these funds to award grants to education savings accounts for students who (1) attended or will be eligible to attend a school operated by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE); or (2) will not be attending a school operated by the BIE, receiving an education savings account from another tribe, or attending public elementary or secondary school while participating in the program.</p> <p>Funds may be used for items and activities such as costs of attendance at private schools, private tutoring and online learning programs, textbooks, educational software, or examination fees. </p> <p>The Government Accountability Office must review the implementation of these education savings account programs, including any factors impacting increased participation in such programs.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill authorizes the BIE to approve and fund charter schools at any school that it operates or funds.</p>
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
