    The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) has received numerous requests from various entities, including Tribes and BIE-funded schools, to waive the requirement to administer BIE’s unified assessments this school year. The BIE would like input on whether BIE should request a waiver of assessment requirements for the 2020-2021 School Year (SY) from the U.S. Department of Education for the protection of the health and safety or students, staff, and their communities, which have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
