![["Classes at Chilocco Indian School will resume on Monday after a long holiday vacation. A study on the future role of the school in Indian education will begin soon. Director of Education James E. Hawkins met with alumni and advisory groups to discuss the future of the school. Hawkins assured that more power will be given to the School Advisory Board in determining the school's future. There are concerns about declining enrollment and the need for Chilocco to meet the specific needs of Indian students. Hawkins defended the school administration in response to recent disturbances. Chilocco will be surveyed by an independent consulting group, and specific guidelines for the school's future will be defined by the Secretary of the Interior. Hawkins also met with representatives of the National Indian Youth Council to discuss potential changes at Chilocco."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_1_26_21_0000-Interior%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.%20Chilocco%20School,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_1_26_21_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Johnson-O'Malley Act Administration: Senate Committee Hearing")
![["New regulations for the Johnson-O'Malley program of the Bureau of Indian Affairs were published in the Federal Register in August 1974. The program aims to provide financial assistance to meet the special educational needs of Indian children in public schools. The new regulations give more control to the local Indian community in determining how funds should be used, in line with the policy of Indian self-determination. Funding for the program in fiscal year 1975 is expected to be almost $28 million, with a focus on supplementing the regular school program to meet the special needs of Indian students. The regulations were developed with input from Indian people to ensure better programs for Indian children. Other changes from the old regulations include broadening eligibility for assistance, allowing funds to be used for pre-school children and educational programs outside of the normal school setting, tightening eligibility requirements for school districts seeking funds for operational expenditures, ensuring more equitable funding between states and within states, and strengthening program and fiscal accountability requirements."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_1_36_18_0000-Interior%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%20January-March,%201974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_1_36_18_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Revamped Regulations for Johnson-O'Malley Program Published in Federal Register")
