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.
