I. Abstract
Public Law 107–110, the No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act of January 8,
2001, requires all schools including
Bureau-funded boarding/residential
schools to ensure that all children have
a fair, equal, and significant opportunity
to obtain a high-quality education and
reach, at a minimum, proficiency on
challenging academic achievement
standards and assessments. The NCLB
Act and implementing regulations at 25
CFR part 36 require the Bureau to
implement national standards for
homeliving situations in all Bureaufunded residential schools. The Bureau
must collect information from all
Bureau-funded residential schools in
order to assess each school’s progress in
meeting the national standards. The
Bureau is seeking renewal of the
approval for this information collection
to ensure that minimum academic
standards for the education of Indian
children and criteria for dormitory
situations in Bureau-operated schools
and Tribally-controlled contact and
grant schools are met.
