Abstract: ``Indian Education--Individual Reporting on Regulatory
Compliance Related to the Indian Education Professional Development
Program's Service Obligation and the Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA).''
The Indian Education Professional Development program, authorized
under title VII, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965, as amended (ESEA), is designed to increase the number of,
provide training to, and improve the skills of American Indian or
Alaska Natives serving as teachers and school administrators in schools
serving American Indian or Alaska Native students.
Section 7122(h) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7442(h)) requires that
individuals who receive financial assistance through the Indian
Education Professional Development program subsequently complete a
service obligation equivalent to the amount of time for which the
participant received financial assistance. Participants who do not
satisfy the requirements of the regulations must repay all or a pro-
rated part of the cost of assistance, in accordance with 20 U.S.C.
7442(h) and 34 CFR 263.8(a)(3). The regulations in part 263 implement
requirements governing, among other things, the service obligation and
reporting requirements of the participants in the Indian Education
Professional Development program, and repayment of financial assistance
by these participants. In order for the Federal Government to ensure
that the goals of the program are achieved, certain data collection,
recordkeeping, and documentation are necessary.
In addition, GPRA requires Federal agencies to establish
performance measures for all programs, and the Department has
established performance measures for the Indian Education Professional
Development program. Data collection from participants who have
received financial assistance under the Indian Education Professional
Development program is a necessary element of the Department's effort
to evaluate progress on these measures.
The Department tracks participants who are receiving or have
previously received support through the Indian Education Professional
Development program. Participants must sign a payback agreement that
includes contact

information. Additionally, the Department receives information about
participants from institutions of higher education (IHEs) and other
eligible grantees when participants are no longer receiving assistance
through the Indian Education Professional Development program. When the
performance period is complete, the participant data are collected from
the grantee and also from the participants.
