James, Overton
Comprised mainly of tabular data, this 1975-76 annual report on the American Indian Education Program in Eastern Oklahoma presents statistics, a brief narrative highlighting the year's accomplishments, and an appendix. Specifically, this report includes statistical tables on the: number of schools; enrollment and average daily attendance of all students and of Indian students in Johnson O'Malley (JOM) participating schools; student drop-out rates; expenditures of contract funds for administration and supervision; total financial statement; expenditures of funds to schools; operational budget. Among the more important data reported are: an increase in average daily attendance of Indians in JOM funded schools (89% vs 85% in 1974-75); 481 Indian graduates from JOM high schools and 807 eighth grade graduates; a drop-out rate of 3.3% vs 4.5% in 1972-73; a 1975-76 contract total of $1,592,008.01 of which 72% went in direct payment to the local schools for implementation of academic enrichment projects for Indians; implementation of comprehensive training programs (including: Teacher Aide Workshop; Parent Committee Institute; Teacher Awareness Institute; Home School Aide Workshop; and Operation Eagle, a program for gifted and talented junior and senior Indian students); and development of a curriculum guide produced in cooperation with the curriculum division of the State Department of Education.
