The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) will provide financial and administrative support for the performance of the Council’s functions.
The estimated annual cost for operating the Council is $68,579.00. This includes compensation, travel, per diem, and other operating expenses for members to attend at least two meetings per year of an annual cost of approximately $50,000.00.

Maintain meeting records for availability to the public; and provide copies of Council reports to appropriate Congressional and agency officials and to the Committee Management Officer for forwarding to the Library of Congress officials.
The Council and any subcommittee will meet approximately twice a year. The DFO sets the agenda for the meeting in consultation with the Chairperson. A quorum of the membership must be present to conduct committee business. Meetings are open to the public, except as may be determined otherwise by the Department of Education’s Office of the General Counsel in accordance with §10(d) of the FACA.
The duration of the Council within the meaning of §§14(a), 14(b), and 14(c) of FACA is continuing as provided by its enabling legislation.
The Council consists of fifteen members who are Indian (including Alaska Native) as defined in 20 U.S.C. §7491(3), and are appointed by the President from lists of nominees furnished, from time to time, by Indian tribes and organizations. The fifteen members represent different geographic areas of the United States. These members serve as Special Government Employees (SGEs), as defined in 18 U.S.C. §202(a). The SGEs provide advice and recommendations based on the member’s judgment formed by their expertise and experience.
The Department of Education may establish such subcommittees as it deems necessary to carry out the duties of the Council. The DFO keeps the Department of Education’s Committee Management Officer informed of the subcommittee structure, including membership, functions, and estimated frequency of meetings.
The records of the Advisory Board will be handled in accordance with the National Archives and Records Administration’s General Records Schedule 6.2. The records shall be made available for public inspection and copying, subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552.
