Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Numerous studies by the Office of the Inspector General 
        of the Department of the Interior, the General Accounting 
        Office, and independent auditors have criticized the absence of 
        independent oversight or other forms of internal control over 
        the Department's management of Indian trust assets and trust 
        funds.
            (2) Indian and tribal account holders have indicated that 
        they will have little or no confidence in the reform of the 
        trust management system if the reform is carried out by the 
        same entities that are responsible for the management of the 
        system on the date of enactment of this Act.
            (3) It would constitute an inherent conflict of interest or 
        at least the appearance of a conflict of interest if the entity 
        establishing internal controls for a trust management system 
        were to be appointed, supervised, and subject to removal by the 
        entity that such internal controls are written for.
            (4) Account holder confidence will be improved if the same 
        official is not simultaneously responsible for the immediate 
        supervision of the fiduciary and financial reporting activities 
        of both the trust fund accounting system and the trust asset 
        and accounting management system.
            (5) To the extent practicable, the reform of activities and 
        creation of internal controls as described in the Department of 
        the Interior's Trust Management Improvement Project, High Level 
        Implementation Plan dated July 1998, and any amendments or 
        modifications to that plan, should be carried out by private 
        contractors.

Output: Post 9/11 Troops to Teachers Enhancement Act - Amends the Troops-to-Teachers program of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (which provides veterans with teacher certification stipends in exchange for three years of service in a high-need local educational agency [LEA] or public charter school).

 Expands program eligibility to cover certain individuals: (1) who, on or after September 11, 2001, serve at least 90 continuous days on active duty in the Armed Forces before being honorably released from such service; or (2) who, on or after January 8, 2002, are separated or released from active duty after at least four (currently, six) years of continuous active duty immediately preceding such separation or release, and agree to serve in the Armed Forces Reserves for at least three years.

 Makes any LEA that is receiving school improvement funds eligible to host Troops-to-Teachers program participants.

Directs the Secretary of Education to establish an Advisory Board, composed of federal, state, and veteran service organization representatives, to collect, study, and disseminate feedback from the program and report to Congress on how the program is operating and might be improved.
