Abstract: The purposes of the STEP program are to: (1) promote increased collaboration between Tribal educational agencies (TEAs) and the State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) that serve students from affected tribes; and (2) build the capacity of TEAs to conduct certain administrative functions under certain Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) formula grant programs for eligible schools, as determined by the TEA, SEA, and LEA. This award is made under the Indian Education National Activities authority, as authorized under ESEA title VI, Part A (20 U.S.C. 7451(a)(4)). This is a renewal of the application package for the State Tribal Education Partnership Program, to be used in forthcoming competitions. The application package reflects the program office's priorities and program-specific selection criteria.
