She expresses support for Senate Bill 1017, the Indian Self-determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, which aims to increase educational opportunities for Indian children and adults. Covington also highlights the need for more Indian teachers and administrators, improved school facilities, and expanded professional involvement of Indian people in education. She requests that the bill be amended to include tribal schools in order to ensure they can benefit from the program. Text
