- Description:
- The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards, Inc. supports Senate Bill 1017, which aims to give Indians greater control over their children's education. However, they have concerns about the limitations in the bill, which they believe prevent true Indian self-determination in education. They argue that the Federal Government should not have discretion in deciding which Indians receive funding for education, as this hinders progress towards full Indian self-government in education. They also criticize the Bureau of Indian Affairs for thwarting educational self-determination and emphasize the need for revisions to the bill to truly empower Indian communities in education.
