not be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-funded school 
(as that term is defined in section 1141 of the Education Amend-
ments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2021)), except that a charter school that 
is in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and that

located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal government which 
exclusively serve tribal members, do not include grades beyond 
those currently served at the existing Bureau-funded school, provide 
an educational environment with educator presence and academic 
facilities comparable to the Bureau-funded school, comply with all 
applicable Tribal, Federal, or State health and safety standards, 
and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and demonstrate the bene-
fits of establishing operations at a satellite location in lieu of incur-
