- Description:
- The Oklahoma State Plan for the Administration and Distribution of Johnson O'Malley Funds outlines the procedures for using federal funds to supplement public schools in educating Indian children. The plan includes provisions for parental costs, special programs, and administration, and is based on the Johnson-O'Malley Act. It emphasizes the importance of providing equal educational opportunities for Indian students and involves Indian parents and committees in decision-making. Funds can be used for special services such as remedial reading, counseling, and tutorial programs, and must not be used for segregation. The plan also includes provisions for providing lunches and milk to Indian students, maintaining records, and submitting annual reports.
