Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which was amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA), was responsible for recodifying the Demonstration Grants for Indian Children program and the Professional Development program. The NCLBA aimed to support standards-based education reform drawn from the philosophy that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals for schools would improve individual outcomes for public school students. The legislation mandated that states develop standardized tests and administer assessments to all students at certain grade levels in order to receive federal funding.[3]
The Demonstration Grants for Indian Children program aims to provide educational services and programs to Indian children to improve academic achievement, according to the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The programs were revised and recodified on January 8, 2022, by the NCLBA. In response to the revisions, the Department of Education issued final regulations with a request for public comments on July 22, 2002, to implement certain program requirements and application requirements.[4][2]
The regulations were amended following this rule by the Obama administration in 2015 and by the Trump administration in 2020. The subsequent amendments were made to revise the application process, the administration of the programs, and implement changes from the Every Student Succeeds Act.[5][6][7][8]
