Dear Mr. President:
Attached is the American Indian and Alaska Native Education Interagency Plan. The
Interagency Plan was developed pursuant the Executive Order 13096 of August 6,1998
on American Indian and Alaska Native Education.
The goals of the Executive Order on American Indian and Alaska Native Education
recognize significant and persistent issues affecting the education of American Indians
and Alaska Natives. The Interagency Plan presents two centerpiece initiatives to focus
immediate attention on these issues: Recruit and prepare 1000 new Native teachers for
American Indian and Alaska Native students and Continue support to address the
significant need for Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) school construction and repair.
The plan also identifies initiatives that respond to Federal Indian Impact Aid school
construction needs, the needs to expand the use of technology, improve learning
readiness, and to increase high school graduation and post secondary attendance rates of
American Indian and Alaska Native students.
We are confident that the initiatives developed by the Interagency Task Force will further
the goals the Executive Order on American Indian and Alaska Native Education.
Sincerely,
Richard W. Riley
