Plain-English Summary

The federal government would update how it distributes funding to schools serving Native American students, aiming to make the allocation process fairer and more equitable across tribal communities. This affects Native American families, students, and schools on or near reservations that rely on federal education funding. The changes would help ensure schools have adequate resources to provide quality education to their students.
