The BIE provides over-site and supervision for schools that are funded under P.L. 95-561 that are operated by the BIE and for tribally operated schools that are funded under the provisions of P.L. 100-297 and P.L. 93-638 that receive funding under NCLB. 100% of the students that attend BIE operated and funded programs meet the criterion for being socially and economically disadvantaged which qualifies these schools to receive funding under Title I NCLB.As the SEA for these schools the BIE assumes the responsibility for the appropriate use of funds and that school meet the accountability requirements and adhere to the process for determining Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the respective state the school is located in. 2. BACKGROUND: As NCLB funding is supplemental funding to support the needs of these student populations, the BIE must also monitor schools to ensure that instructional programs are aligned with state standards and that funding is used to supplement the base program at the school and not supplant the school's base operation which is funded under the Indian Student Equalization Program (ISEP) referred to as "accountability." Contained in the SEA responsibilities to BIE funded and operated schools is the need to provide technical assistants, monitoring, and training for the implementation of programs that address requirements contained in the NCLB. 3. SCOPE BIE must comply with the accountability requirements of P.L. 107-110 "No Child Left Behind" and requires the assistance of a contractor to perform desk monitoring and verification audits, and provide technical advice on corrective action plans regarding program implementation for Bureau funded and operated schools, residential programs, and Education Line Offices.

The contractor shall monitor 38 BIE funded or operated schools per year under the requirements of NCLB. Schools that are in AYP status will be required to only complete a Desk Monitoring (see Definitions). A site verification visit will not be conducted at these schools except upon request of the Education Line Officer, the School Administrator, or the Tribal government if the school is a 100-297 or 93-638 school.
