Student leaders at Chilocco Indian School and local law enforcement officials are condemning the Bureau of Indian Affairs' report alleging criminal malpractice by school leaders. They believe the charges are false and are rallying support to save the school from being leased to a private contractor. The student leaders are urging their peers to write letters to protest the accusations and defend the school's reputation. Sheriff and district attorney officials also do not believe the allegations of mistreatment. The Bureau of Indian Affairs officials maintain that the report is an internal working document for investigation purposes.
