National Advisory Council on Indian Education Meeting

AGENCY: National Advisory Council on Indian Education, ED.

ACTION: Notice of open meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda of a 
forthcoming meeting of the National Advisory Council on Indian 
Education. The purposes of this meeting are to discuss the Presidential 
Executive Order 13096 on American Indian and Alaska Native Education, 
and to discuss the reauthorization of programs under the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), of which the Title IX Indian 
Education Program is included. Notice of this meeting is required under 
Section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and is intended 
to notify the public of their opportunity to attend.
    Executive Order 13096 was signed by President Clinton on August 6, 
1998. The order committed the Federal Government to developing a 
comprehensive response to the national need for better education for 
American Indian and Alaska Native people. Particular attention is to be 
provided in the areas of reading, mathematics and science, improving 
postsecondary attendance and completion rates, and ensuring that Indian 
students have access to strong, safe, and drug-free school 
environments. Specific long-term strategies for meeting these 
objectives are being developed by a Federal Interagency Task Force.
