UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY DeMontigny earns bachelor's degree By Kimberly Hefling TheAssociatedPress WASHINGTON The Obama administration says it will ask Congress for $1 billion next year to run schools for Native American children — in- cluding millions in new money to help fix crum- bling buildings. The request — $150 million more than in this year's budget — sets aside $58 million in new fund- ing for school construc- tion and $18 million in new funding for repairs. It also seeks $33 million to expand the schools' In- ternet capabilities. "It's hard not to feel sad or angry when I look at the condition of the facilities," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told reporters, add- ing, "We can and we must do better." The federally run schools situated primar- ily on remote and impov- erished reservations are among the nation's worst performing. About 48,000 students attend the 183 schools in 23 states. The schools have a tainted legacy dating to the 19th century when Native American children were shipped to boarding schools. The federal gov- ernment continues to have a treaty and trust respon- sibility to run them, but they've historically strug- gled with issues such as fi- nancial mismanagement, bureaucracy, poverty and attracting high-quality teachers. Since President Barack Obama's summer visit to a North Dakota reser- vation, the administra- tion has pushed ahead with a plan to give tribes more control, but the en- deavor has been compli- cated by the estimated $1 billion in disrepair at the schools. Mold, mice and leaky roofs are among the prob- lems. More than 60 of the schools are listed in poor condition, and less than one-third have the Inter- net and the computer ca- pability to administer new student assessments roll- ing out in much of the country. Late last year, Congress provided the schools with a $40 million bump in an- nual spending for 2015 over the previous year — about $19 million for school replacement. That meant funding to fin- ish the Beatrice Rafferty school in Maine and de- sign new facilities for the Little Singer Community and Cove Day schools in Arizona, according to the Interior Department.
