                Native  Educator   Support  and  Training  Act

    As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on May 17, 2017


SUMMARY

S. 458 would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to authorize funds for grant
programs at the Department of Education (ED). Those grants provide scholarships for
postsecondary students who agree to teach in schools that meet certain criteria, such as
those with a significant number of Native American students. The bill also would authorize
grants for programs that train teachers on Native American languages and for support to
educators who are Native American or teach Native Americans and are working to obtain
teacher certification or other credentials. Finally, S. 458 would expand forgiveness of
federal student loans for certain elementary and secondary school teachers.

CBO  estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $245 million over the
2018-2022 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. In addition, CBO
estimates that enacting the provisions to expand loan forgiveness would increase direct
spending by $300 million over the 2018-2022 period and $425 million over the 2018-2027
period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting S. 458 would not affect
revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

S. 458 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act (UMRA).


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 458 is shown in the following table. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 500 (education, training, employment and social
services).
