An Indian tribe that operates a school and is not affiliated with either the local educational agency or the Bureau of Indian Education shall be eligible to apply for a grant under this subpart. The Secretary shall treat each Indian tribe, Indian organization, or consortium of such entities applying for a grant pursuant to paragraph
(1)or
(2)as if such tribe, Indian organization, or consortium were a local educational agency for purposes of this subpart . Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), such Indian tribe, Indian organization, or consortium shall not be subject to the requirements of subsections (b)(7) or (c)(5) of section 7114 or section 7118(c) or 7119. An Indian tribe, Indian organization, or consortium of such entities that is eligible to apply for a grant under paragraph
(1)shall include, in the application required under section 7114, an assurance that the entity will use the grant funds to provide services to all Indian students served by the local educational agency. If no local educational agency pursuant to subsection (b), and no Indian tribe, Indian organization, or consortium pursuant to subsection (c), applies for a grant under this subpart, an Indian community-based organization serving the community of the local educational agency may apply for such grant. The Secretary shall apply the special rule in subsection (c)(3) to a community-based organization applying or receiving a grant under paragraph
(1)in the same manner as such rule applies to an Indian tribe, Indian organization, or consortium. In this subsection, the term Indian community-based organization means any organization that— is composed primarily of Indian parents and community members, tribal government education officials, and tribal members from a specific community; assists in the social, cultural, and educational development of Indians in such community; meets the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of Indian students; and demonstrates organizational capacity to manage the grant. A local educational agency, Indian tribe, or Indian organization that meets the eligibility requirements under this section may form a consortium with other eligible local educational agencies, Indian tribes, or Indian organizations for the purpose of obtaining grants and operating programs under this subpart. In any case where 2 or more local educational agencies that are eligible under subsection
(b)form or participate in a consortium to obtain a grant, or operate a program, under this subpart, each local educational agency participating in such a consortium shall— provide, in the application submitted under section 7114, an assurance that the eligible Indian children served by such local educational agency will receive the services of the programs funded under this subpart; and agree to be subject to all requirements, assurances, and obligations applicable to a local educational agency receiving a grant under this subpart. .
