To meet requirements of Section 1111 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) published its Standards, Assessments, and Accountability System in its Agency Plan on March 26, 2020. It outlines how the Secretary of the Interior should meet the new ESEA requirements for standards, assessments and accountability systems for BIE-funded schools as outlined in amendments in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Consolidated State Plans of the Agency Plan and the Department of Education Template now reflect those updates and each other.
