Tribal language revitalization grants
Under current law, school boards, cooperative educational service agencies, and head start agencies are eligible for grants to support innovative, effective instruction in one or more American Indian languages. This bill expands eligibility for these grants to include independent charter schools.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. 115.745 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
115.745 (1) A school board, an operator of a charter school established under s. 118.40 (2r) or (2x), a cooperative educational service agency, or an agency determined by the state superintendent to be eligible for designation under 42 USC 9836 as a head start agency, in conjunction with a tribal education authority, may apply to the department for a grant for the purpose of supporting innovative, effective instruction in one or more American Indian languages.
