![["Senator Fred R. Harris is urging Deputy Assistant Secretary William L. Rogers to take immediate action to fund Indian controlled school boards who have been facing delays in receiving approval for local control of their schools. Harris believes that these delays are in conflict with President Nixon's pledge for self-determination for Indian communities and are hindering the quality education of Indian children. He specifically mentions the Wind River Shoshone and Arapahoe Education Association, Loneman School Board, and Busby School Board as needing immediate approval. Harris requests to be kept updated on progress in addressing these issues."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20B-Z,%201971%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_056_thumbnail.jpg "Urgent Request for Immediate Funding and Support for Indian-Controlled School Boards")
