The Commissioner of Indian Affairs can suspend or shut down a reservation Indian school if it would help the service. With the Interior Secretary's approval, the Commissioner can also sell a closed school's building and use the money to build or buy other school facilities.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs can suspend or permanently close a reservation Indian school whenever doing so would, in the Commissioner's judgment, benefit the service. With the Secretary of the Interior's approval, the Commissioner can also sell a school building or property that's no longer needed as an Indian school on any reservation. The money from that sale must be reinvested in other school buildings and property, as needed, following rules the Commissioner sets with the Secretary's approval.
