The National Indian Youth Council has filed a lawsuit against Chilocco Indian School, alleging that students are being expelled without due process. The suit also involves other plaintiffs and defendants, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The lawsuit seeks reinstatement of expelled students and addresses issues of student treatment and education at the school. The planned visit of the Director of Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs to Chilocco is seen as significant in light of the ongoing legal and social issues at the school.
