Parity for Tribal Educators Act

This bill would treat employees of tribally controlled schools as federal employees for purposes of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) pension and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). It covers schools that operate under a contract under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act or a grant under the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 1988. The Bureau of Indian Affairs would pay the government's share of pension and TSP contributions for these employees. Employees could choose to opt out of this coverage under procedures set by the Office of Personnel Management.
