During the ISEP Tribal listening session portion, the BIE will review with you 25 CFR Part 39—Indian School Equalization Program. We are highly interested in hearing from you on the areas of concern on practices that need to be improved.
Below are some of the specific ISEP areas in which we will seek your input:

  • Subpart B—Indian School Equalization Formula (ISEF)
  • factors used in base and supplemental funding methodologies;
  • gifted and talented programs;
  • language development programs;
  • small school adjustments;
  • geographic isolation adjustments;
  • ISEF base academic funding factors and for grades kindergarten through 12; and base residential funding factors for grades 1 through grade 12.

During the ISEP transportation listening session portion, BIE will provide an overview of 25 CFR Part 39, Subpart G—Student Transportation, and will seek your input on specific sections of the proposed regulatory amendments.
