Indian Education Technical Amendments Act of 1985 - Amends title XI (Indian Education) of the Education Amendments of 1978 (the Act) to revise provisions relating to Indian education. Directs the Secretary of the Interior (the Secretary) to establish revised standards for the basic education of Indian children in Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools when such standards are submitted by the tribal governing body or the designated school board, unless the Secretary: (1) specifically rejects such standards for good cause; and (2) notifies in writing each affected tribe and local school board of such rejection. Makes such rejection final and not reviewable. Revises the deadline for contract school compliance with such minimum academic standards or alternative or modified standards. Prohibits the Secretary from rescinding or failing to renew a contract because of noncompliance with such standards until at least one year after notifying the school of a failure to comply. Requires the Secretary, during such one-year period, to give technical assistance to help the school to comply. Allows the BIA, in fulfilling its duty to establish uniform fiscal control and fund accounting procedures for all contract schools, to do so either directly or through contract with an Indian organization. Deletes certain references to personnel actions based on failure to implement or meet such standard…
