          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Native American Education Opportunity Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill addresses education savings account programs and charter schools for tribal students. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Education and the Department of the Interior, at the request of federally recognized Indian tribes, to&amp;nbsp;provide funds to tribes for tribal-based education savings account programs. Tribes must use these funds to award grants to education savings accounts for students who (1)&amp;nbsp;attended or will be eligible to attend a school operated by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE); or (2) will not be attending a school operated by the BIE, receiving an education savings account from another tribe, or attending public elementary or secondary school while participating in the program.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Funds may be used for items and activities such as costs of attendance at private schools, private tutoring and online learning programs, textbooks, educational software, or examination fees. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Government Accountability Office must review the implementation of these education savings account programs, including any factors impacting increased participation in such programs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the bill authorizes the BIE to approve and fund charter schools at any school that it operates or funds.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
