Scope and Contents
Correspondence that discusses two issues. The first issue is the funding of tutors for Indian children who are unable or not allowed to attend school due to the length of their hair. The promise to provide funding was made a year ago, but no funds have been made available and it is unclear if the promise is still valid. The second issue is an audit of the use and misuse of Johnson-O'Malley funds in 23 school districts in Oklahoma. The audit found ineligible student participation, improper use of funds for basic items, budget variances, and erroneous reporting. The State Department of Education responded to the audit but did not mention retroactive action. Suggestions for follow-up actions include contacting relevant officials, exploring funding sources, and preparing legislation if necessary.
