In 2023, the Bureau of Indian Education entered a settlement agreement with Plaintiffs in Stephen C., et al. v. Bureau of Indian Education, et al., No. 3:17-cv-08004-SPL (D. Ariz.). The Settlement Agreement resolves claims concerning BIE’s compliance with 13 regulations at Havasupai Elementary School. The thirteen regulations cited in the Settlement are found at 25 C.F.R Part 36. Minimum Academic Standards for the Basic Education of Indian Children and National Criteria for Dormitory Situations. The specific regulations subject to this Settlement Agreement include 25 C.F.R. §§ 36.11, 36.20, 36.21, 36.22, 36.23, 36.30, 36.31, 36.40, 36.41, 36.42, 36.43, 36.50, and 36.51.
In part, the Settlement Agreement calls for BIE to conduct an initial assessment of the educational programming at HES to determine compliance with the 13 abovementioned regulations. This Initial Assessment provides baseline information from which BIE will develop a work plan to address the findings. The work plan will be updated every 90 days and made available online.
