A bill to amend Title 25 U.S.C., relating to Indian education programs, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Indian Education Act Amendments of 1978 to define "eligible Indian student" as those children who are members of federally recognized tribes or who are at least one-fourth degree Indian blood. Allows children: (1) of Federal employees or tribal employees who reside on or near a Bureau of Indian Affairs' (Bureau) school to attend, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior, such school without charge for tuition; and (2) who are not otherwise eligible under this Act, to attend a local Bureau school provided the local Indian school Board agrees to such attendance and the tuition fees charged are comparable to fees charged by the nearest public school district. Repeals specified sections of Federal law relating to tuition charges to white children in Indian schools.
