- Description:
- The speaker has received feedback from Indian individuals and organizations urging a "no" vote on Title II of a legislation due to concerns about the formula for distributing funds. Despite the offered amendment not fully addressing these concerns, the speaker supports it as a way to ensure no State loses funds. The speaker also highlights the importance of passing the legislation to authorize programs aimed at improving education for Indians, such as the Development of Professionals in Indian Education. This part of the bill would provide grants for training personnel to better serve Indian children in public, private, and Federal schools.
