Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) Schools
Presently on the Navajo Nation, there are 32 schools operated by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), and 32 schools that receive BIE funding via PL100-297 tribally-controlled school grants and PL93-638 self-determination contracts.
Reorganization & reform. In 2014, the DOI issued Secretarial Order No. 3334 – Restructuring the Bureau of Indian Education, detailing an “urgent case for reform” within the BIE. The challenges identified by the order include difficulty in attracting effective teachers to BIE schools located in remote locations, achieving compliance with academic standards in 23 different States, promoting research-based reforms in tribally controlled schools, resource constraints, and institutional and budgetary fragmentation. The order calls for an improvement in the performance of schools and BIE’s responsiveness to the schools’ needs.
Local school boards of federally funded schools throughout the Navajo Nation are represented by the Diné Bi’ Olta School Board Association. It is the only pan-Navajo association of local school boards officially recognized and empowered by the Navajo Nation Council under 10 N.N.C. §§ 301-305 (2007 Supp.).
