SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIE is committed to improving and 
enhancing its service delivery and improving the education of Indian 
students served by BIE-funded schools. The BIE is developing a bureau-
wide strategic plan to guide its work and service delivery to students, 
schools, and tribes. To that end, the BIE recently engaged its staff in 
a process of strategic performance planning with the intention of 
submitting the proposed draft strategic plan for collaborative and 
meaningful consultation with Tribes early in the process.
    On March 8, 2017, April 11, 2017, June 14, 2017, July 18-20, 2017, 
and August 29-30, 2017, the BIE convened local, regional, and central 
office BIE personnel in order to formulate proposed strategic plan 
vision, mission, and organizational values statements as well as goals 
and strategies to implement the goals in the planning process.
    In order to ensure that its strategic planning efforts result in a 
high quality, effective, and useful plan, BIE partnered with external 
subject matter expert organizations specializing in educational 
strategic performance planning, including the Council of Chief State 
School Officers (CCSSO), the South Central Comprehensive Center located 
at the University of Oklahoma (SC3), and the Building State Capacity 
and Productivity Center (BSCPC). These organizations are providing BIE 
with valuable technical subject matter expertise and shared best 
practices in developing an effective, five-year strategic plan proposal 
with which to engage tribes in meaningful and timely consultation.
    BIE emphasizes that it is early in the strategic planning process 
and views the proposed strategic plan as a useful draft document that 
will assist Tribes in affording meaningful and substantive input during 
the scheduled consultation sessions. BIE earnestly appreciates and 
values any constructive input regarding its draft strategic plan and 
invites tribes, tribal leaders, and/or their designees to consult on 
the proposed plan during the aforementioned meetings.
