Call on Congress to increase funding for the Bureau of Indian Education

Schoolyards play a significant role in delivering invaluable physical and mental health benefits to children, which lead to improved educational outcomes. But despite these schoolyards’ immense potential, tribal schoolyards currently lack the resources needed to reach their full impact.

Please join us in advocating for increased funding for the BIE so we can help students access safe and engaging schoolyards that foster a love of learning, promote physical and mental well-being, and connect them to the natural beauty of their lands.

By taking action, you will receive important updates about our work and how you can help Trust for Public Land protect public land and parks for people.

RE: Increase funding for the Bureau of Indian Education

To [Decision Maker],

As a concerned constituent, I urge you to support increased funding for the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). Tribal schools play a critical role in providing quality education to Native American students across the country. However, the state of many tribal schoolyards is in dire need of improvement, which hampers the learning experience and overall well-being of students.

With limited resources available, it has become increasingly challenging for tribal schools to provide safe and conducive learning environments for students. By investing in tribal schoolyards, we can help children have access to healthy outdoor spaces that promote physical activity, social interaction, and a deeper connection to the natural beauty of their lands.

For these reasons, I strongly urge you to consider the long-term benefits that such an investment would bring to countless students. Improved schoolyards will not only foster better educational outcomes, but will also contribute to the overall health and well-being of our future leaders.
