![["The document from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to Senator Bartlett discusses the future of Intermountain School, stating that it will remain open at least through the 1974-75 school year. There are discussions about potentially using the school as an inter-tribal or all-tribal school, but cost factors and impact on existing programs need to be considered. A task force is being formed to explore the possible uses of the facility, with input from Indian organizations. The document also mentions a meeting of concerned tribal leaders who oppose the closure of the school and request a study by qualified Indian educators. The document urges Senator Bartlett's assistance in the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_34_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Intermountain%20School,%201973%20June/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_34_3_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding the Future of Intermountain School")
