View Rule

This rule would implement Congressional authority for the Director of the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) to enter into agreements with third parties to lease the land or facilities of a Bureau-operated school in exchange for funding that benefits the school and for personnel at BIE-operated schools to fundraise for the schools. This rule would establish:

•          Standards for the appropriate use of BIE-operated school lands and facilities under a lease agreement,
•          Provisions for mechanisms to accept consideration for the use and benefit of a school,
•          Accountability standards to ensure ethical conduct by BIE-operated school personnel, and
•          Provisions for monitoring the amount and terms of consideration received, the manner in which the consideration is used, and any results achieved by such use.
