The document outlines the Indian Educational Reform Act, which allows the Secretary of Education to enter into contracts with states, political subdivisions, Indian tribes, or tribal organizations to provide education to Indian students in public schools. The contracts must include an approved education plan that ensures satisfactory educational objectives, protection of trust resources, adequate equipment and personnel, and adequate funding. The plan must also reflect that school districts affected by the contract receive equal funding compared to other districts within the state, and funds must be used for special educational programs for Indian students.
