Description

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) requires states and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) to define and determine whether schools are making adequate yearly progress (AYP) toward meeting the goal of 100% academic proficiency. To address tribes’ needs for cultural preservation, NCLBA allows tribal groups to waive all or part of BIE’s definition of AYP and propose an alternative, if requested. This report provides information on the extent of: (1) BIE schools’ adoption of BIE’s definition of AYP; (2) tribal groups’ pursuit of alternatives and their reasons as well as reasons other tribal groups have not done so; and (3) fed. assistance to tribal groups developing alternatives. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
