Reservation boarding schools with fewer than 45 students, and nonreservation ones with fewer than 80, must close before the next fiscal year. Their students move first to day or public schools, then to other boarding schools if there's room. Day schools with under 8 students must also close, and any leftover funding goes back to the Treasury.

Any reservation boarding school averaging fewer than 45 students a year, and any nonreservation boarding school averaging fewer than 80 students a year, must close before the next fiscal year starts. Students from a closed school move first, if possible, to Indian day schools or state public schools. If that's not possible, they move to a nearby reservation or nonreservation boarding school, as far as that school has room. Any day school averaging fewer than 8 students a year must also close before the next fiscal year starts. Any money Congress set aside for a school that closes — for this reason or any other — must go straight back to the U.S. Treasury.
