This bill requires the Utah State Board of Education to adopt, by January 1, 2027, a formal state plan for American Indian and Alaska Native student education — addressing academic gaps, identifying critical needs, recommending specific actions, and including a process for sharing data with tribal education leaders. The board must consult with tribal leaders and stakeholders in developing the plan, present it to the Native American Legislative Liaison Committee before adoption, and report annually on the plan's implementation. The bill also expands what schools can spend grant money on, explicitly adding materials, books, supplies, conferences, stipends, and teacher recruitment and retention to the list of allowable uses.
