It explains that California received JOM funds prior to 1958 but discontinued them in favor of other federal programs. Despite requests for JOM funding in recent years, California may not receive significant funding in the future due to criteria for eligibility based on tax-exempt Indian-owned lands and large numbers of Indian children in school districts.
