The Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), is required by the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13), Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (25 U.S.C. 5301), Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2001), Augustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.), and Every Student Succeeds Act (20 U.S.C. 6301) to provide educational services to federally recognized Indians and Alaska Natives. In addition, 25 CFR 43, Maintenance and Control of Student Records in Bureau Schools, contain regulations governing the maintenance, control, and accessibility of student records.
BIEâs Student Enrollment Application is utilized by schools operated or funded by BIE. The information is collected by school registrars to determine the studentâs eligibility for enrollment in a bureau-operated school, and if eligible, is shared with appropriate school officials to identify the studentâs base and supplemental educational and/or residential program needs. The information is compiled into a national database by the Bureau of Indian Education to facilitate budget requests and the allocation of congressionally appropriated funds.
