Contact: Community and Economic Development Div. Budget Function: Education, manpower, and Social Services: Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education 4501). Organization Concerned: Bureau of Indian Affairs: Indian Education Resources Center, Albuquerque, YN; Department of the Interior. Conqressional Relevance: Senate Committee on approFiations: Interior Subcommittee. Sen. Robert C. Byrd. Autkorityz Education for all Handicapped Children act (PAL. 94-142). Elementary and Secondary duocation Act, title I. Johnson-O'Malley Act of 93S. The purpose of the Indian Education iesoarcus Cente in Albuquerque, lee Mexico, is to provide technical services of monitoring, curriculum evaluation, research and development, and dissemination of information to Bureau of Indian affairs (BIA) schools. The Center has four divisions An Albuquerque and one in Utah. In June 1976v the current Director of Indian Education initiated a reorganization which divestA the Canter of many of its functions and attempted to centralize staff and operations. in ashinqton. D.C. This proposed reorganization has not taken place, and a 1976 Civil Service Commission review found that about half of the Center's personnel positions wore overgraded due to an erosion of duties and responsibilities largely attributable to a gradual reduction in staff and funds assigned to th~e Center. The Commission directed BhA to take no further actions to reorganize the Center. Findings/Conclusions: Assistance provided by the Center was generally considered satisfactory by its clientele--mostly EtA field offices and schools. Hoever, the Center was not, on its own initiative, monitoring and evaluating BIA-operated schools or insuring that area offices wore adequately performing these functions. Additional needed services such as the monitoring ani evaluation of school activities have not been provided because of staffing problems or travel fund limitations. two of the Cntergs four divisions currently located in Albuquerque are appropriately located, but there is no reason why the Center's other two divisions need to be located in Albuquerque. However# if these two divisions perform additional monitoring %nd evaluation, they also will have to perform ore travel and may need to be located in the field. (RRS)
