The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards expresses concern about the lack of comprehensive legislation addressing Indian education, particularly in regards to self-determination. They discuss the inadequacies of current legislation and urge for the development of new legislation that addresses Indian education financing and control. They provide key principles that they believe should apply to any Indian education legislation and request that the Senate committees take swift action on S. 1017 with necessary changes. They offer to work with the committees to address these issues.
