The Bureau of Indian Affairs has announced plans to double the funding for improvements at Chilocco School from $300,000 to as much as $600,000. They also plan to request an additional $500,000 for the design of a new school building. The funds will be used for rehabilitation of dormitories, campus buildings, and general refurbishing. Congressional permission is needed for the re-appropriation of funds, but work at Chilocco could begin early in the spring.
