Historical Background
Legislative History
New Law
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 25-273)
Section 1
6
In 1871, Congress discontinued the policy of treaty agreements with Indian tribes. For the next half century, the Federal
Government continued to assume the major responsibility for Indian education through the actual operation of government schools
or by paying the equivalent of “non-resident” tuition to public school districts enrolling Indian children. This early effort was
implemented by legislative authority contained in the BIA’s Appropriation Act of February. Regulations adopted in that Act are still
nominally in effect as Part 33, Title 25 Indians, although superseded under the authority of the JOM Act. For the most part, the
educational efforts focused primarily on Indian reservations which were surrounded by public domain or territorial status land. The
transition of responsibility for Indian children from the federal government to individual states is a direct result of two basic factors.
(1) the organization into states formerly in territorial status, each state recognizing in its constitution the responsibility to equally
provide education opportunities for all state citizens; and (2) the Citizenship Act of 1924 granting American citizenship to all Indians
residing within the continental United States. Therefore, by virtue of Indian citizenship and Indian rights under the 14th Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution, the responsibility for the education of the American Indian is primarily that of each state and local school
district.
Although the legal responsibility of equality in education for America’s children rests with the states it is recognized in basic state
laws, the Federal Government also recognizes its responsibility for assisting states under certain circumstances. The JOM Act of
April 15, 1934 (48 Stat. 596), as amended by the Act of June 4, 1936 (49 Stat. 1458), is such a circumstance.
Historical Background of JOM
The JOM Act (73 Cong., 2nd Session, Chs. 146-1481 April 16 1934 (Title 25 452-455) provided the Secretary of the Interior with the
authority to arrange with the states or territories for the education, medical attention, agricultural assistance, relief of distress and
social welfare of the Indian and for other purposes.
In 1934, Hiram W. Johnson was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and Thomas P. O’Malley was Chairman of the
House Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Johnson introduced the bill S2571, in February of 1934. The report of the Senate Committee
(S. Rpt. 511) was identical with that of the House (H. Rpt. 864), and stressed the bill was designed to handle “Indian problems with
those states in which the Indian tribal life is largely broken up and in which the Indians are to a considerable extent mixed with the
general population.” It was felt that where such circumstances prevailed, health and other problems were “so intermixed with that of
the general health of the community that it is difficult to separate the two.” The committee felt separate white and Indian health
facilities were “uneconomical and contrary to efficient administration.” By this bill the state could handle the services to both white and
Indians with the federal government bearing the added expense for services to the Indian population. The committee noted the Indian
Service had already established the precedent of arranging with many local communities to take Indian children into the public
schools, but…lacked the authority to transfer such functions on the broader basis to the states.
Prior to 1958, the JOM Program was a basic federal aid program specifically designed to assist public school districts to educate
Indian children from reservations and other Indian-owned, tax-exempt land areas. On August 12, 1958, Public Law 81-874,
administered through the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, providing financial assistance to public schools was
amended to include assistance for educating Indian children. This broader based federal aid program met most of the basic financial
needs of eligible school districts. Subsequently, the JOM program became a supplementary aid program geared to offset the financial
deficit of unmet extraordinary and exceptional cases of need. Funds were available for operational purposes as distinguished from
construction needs. JOM funds were made available to states based on separate plans negotiated between BIA and the respective
States or tribal corporations for the express purpose of supplemental federal assistance for educating Indian children in public
schools. These funds, in turn, were administered by the states or tribal corporations to local school districts. The purpose of the
regulations established in Part 273 of Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act was to set forth
the application and approval process for education contracts under the JOM Act. Any state, school district, tribal organization or
Indian corporation is eligible to apply for a contract.

THE CURRENT LAW
On December 31st, 2018, President Trump signed into law Senate Bill 943, the Johnson-O’Malley Supplemental Indian
Education Program Modernization Act. The Act, now also referred to as Public Law 115-404, will seek to obtain a complete
update of the student count for eligible Native American students while increasing participation around the country from schools
and tribes. This law reinforces the recognition of Tribal sovereignty and the respect of federal treaty rights.
Current Law
These regulations were written to ensure the maximum participation of Indian parents
in the development of programs for eligible Indian students.

JOM ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES AND VERIFICATIONS
An important segment for the JOM program is the enrollment process and student certifications. First and most
importantly, is that the student qualifies for the JOM program by meeting the JOM criteria and eligibility. This verification is
accomplished in the Muscogee (Creek) Nation JOM office. Secondly, forms need to be properly filled-out and all proper
documents need to be attached and submitted to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation JOM office for verification. Procedures that
must be followed:
Eligibility
The student must be enrolled with a federally recognized tribe.
Eligible students-25 CFR 273.112 (Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 25, Part 273.112) An Indian student is eligible for
benefits provided by a JOM contract if the student is: (a) from age 3 years through grade(s) 12, (b) not enrolled in Bureau-
funded school or sectarian school (except the student is eligible if enrolled in a previously private school controlled by an
Indian Tribe or Tribal organization); and (c) is either: (1) At least one-fourth ¼ degree Indian blood descendant of a
member of an Indian Tribe as defined in 273.106. (2) A member of an Indian tribe as defined in § 273.106.
Also accepted is a parent’s tribal citizenship card or a CDIB card of a federally recognized tribe if the parent’s blood degree
is a half ½ or more with the student’s original state certified birth certificate.
PROPER DOCUMENTATION
When submitting an enrollment form to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation JOM office for student verification include one of the
following: CDIB card (the card must show the student to be at least 1/4 degree Indian blood), copy of the students tribal
citizenship card, or tribal letter verifying citizenship must be attached to the form.
When using the parent's information for verification you must include one of the following along with the child's original
state certified birth certificate: the parent’s tribal citizenship card or CDIB card (the card must show parent to be at least 1/2
degree Indian blood). These two documents will need to be attached to the enrollment form when submitting for
verification. We do not and will not accept anything other than a state certified birth certificate. Hospital certificates will not
be accepted. Enrollment forms must be correctly filled-out with correct documentation or the forms will be returned and the
process will be stopped until proper documentation is presented.
COUNT WEEK
This is the week we count enrolled JOM students and the student must be actively enrolled in the school. This count
number is utilized in determining funding amounts for schools. Count week is always the first full week of October and the
count will stop on Friday of that first week. That number becomes your school’s count number. The JOM student count
number must be sent to the JOM office by Friday of the following week on the transmittal form. The Transmittal form can
be found on the website at http://www.mcn-nsn.gov/services/education-training/johnson-omalley/.
Schools will have until the end of the second full week in November to submit all student enrollment forms for verification of
JOM students for the current school years count, and for other changes to their roster, i.e. transfers, drop-outs, etc.
ROSTER
A tentative final roster will be emailed at the end of the second full week in January. If for some reason schools feel their
student count is inaccurate after receipt of the tentative final roster they will have until the Friday of the last full week in
January to make any changes, i.e.: student name spelling, grade and birth date.
13
STUDENT COUNT AND ROSTERS
Count Week is the first full week in October. At the end of Count Week, all schools will be required to tabulate and count
their eligible JOM student enrollment. Each school will be required to send in their count number using the ‘Student Count
Transmittal’ (eform) on our webpage. The transmittal form should reach our office by the end of the second full week in
October.
Schools will have one month to submit all student enrollment forms and other changes to their rosters, i.e.: transfers,
drops, active, inactive, etc., for all students seeking eligibility. (Enrollment forms are located on the website. Please submit
one form per student with all necessary documents uploaded.)
FINAL ROSTER
Tentative final rosters are to be complete by the end of the second full week in January and emailed to the school. Should
the school find any discrepancies within the tentative final rosters, they will have until the end of the last full week in
January to make any needed changes i.e.: student name, birthdate and grade.
After the first full workday in February, your student count will be final and there will be NO CHANGES MADE TO THE
COUNT.
The count will stand as is.

IEC Election and Voting
1. Who is responsible for conducting an election?
All Indian Education Committee's are to conduct elections in accordance with their By-Laws. The election procedures
should be a part of the IEC By-Laws. The IEC may have a non-partisan person act as the election judge and conduct the
election.
2. Who can run for the Indian Education Committee?
According to Federal regulations, the IEC is elected by parents, legal guardians or person acting “in loco parentis” of
eligible Indian students enrolled in the school(s) affected by the contract. To avoid conflict of interest or give the
appearance of a conflict of interest, school officials or their spouses, persons directly involved in oversight of the Muscogee
(Creek) Nation JOM Program should not be eligible to serve as committee members.
3. Who is eligible to vote?
Any parent, legal guardian or person acting “in loco parentis” of eligible Indian students enrolled within the contract school
system. This means that both parents of a child are eligible. Voting by proxy (representing someone else) is not allowed at
any time. A student is not allowed, by federal regulation, to vote or hold a position on the IEC.
20
The Chairperson shall perform all duties pertaining to the office of chairperson and such other
duties as may be assigned by the Indian Education Committee from time to time. Specific
duties are to preside over all general committee meetings and sign all letters, reports, and
other compliance documents as required. The Chairperson is allowed to only vote on a motion
to break a tie or as deemed by the IEC according to their by-laws. The Chairperson carries out
the actions of the IEC in accordance to the JOM Application.
The Vice-Chairperson will assume the role of the chairperson in his/her absence. Other duties
of the Vice-Chairperson are: ensure that membership on the Indian Education Committee is
consistent with federal guidelines. He/she shall perform such other duties as may be
requested by the committee from time to time.
The Secretary shall keep the minutes of the meetings (including regular, special, and
emergency), and shall provide minutes to the Committee, school administrator, and to such
other persons the Committee may indicate. He/she shall see that all notices are given in
accordance with the provisions of their by-laws, be custodian of the Committee’s records,
keep a list of the address, email, and telephone numbers of each Committee member. The
Secretary shall perform other duties as prescribed by the Indian Education Committee from
time to time.
The members of the IEC shall regularly attend the IEC meetings, have full voting rights,
assist the IEC officers and JOM staff in the program design, and help implement and
evaluate the JOM program. Being an IEC Committee Members does not give any one
member any authority to act alone representing the committee as a whole. You are an IEC
Committee Member during the committee meeting. You may not represent yourself as an
IEC Committee Member on any occasion unless you have been given authority, by motion of
the IEC to represent yourself as such. IEC Committee Members are to vote on any issue
(motion) that is brought before the committee. The only reason that an IEC member would
abstain from voting would be in a conflict of interest issue.

Section 4
23
Educational support funds are for purchasing necessary items for a student involved in an academic or school related
activity. The type of aid that is provided should enable the student to fully participate in the educational programs available
through the school.
Only items supported by the education plan and approved in the application or budget revision by the IEC, LEA and JOM
office may be purchased.
All educational support funds will be paid and accounted for by the JOM contractor.
All items purchased with educational support funds become the property of the eligible student for whom it was purchased.
Except for lease-purchase items such as band instruments.
Educational support items include but are not limited to: school supplies, laptop/Chromebook insurance, instrument rental,
lab fees, test fees, graduation caps and gowns, cords, cultural supplies/materials, sports activities, extra-curricular supplies,
science projects, eligible incentive awards and equipment to facilitate for professional trade skill/intensified college
preperation programs.
A well-constructed objective will say the same thing to everyone and show the same outcome. In other words, no surprises!
To ensure that everyone is together in this idea, a performance objective should include the following four parts:
***** WHO relates to the person to perform the activity?
***** WHAT is to be known or done?
***** WHEN relates to a specific point in time when something will have been learned or completed.
***** HOW will it be measured relates to assessment techniques.
EXAMPLE 1:
In school X, it is identified, during the school year the Indian high school students had an absenteeism rate of
25% as compared to 7% for the other high school students. The Indian Education Committee is concerned about
the absenteeism rate and indicates a desire to reduce the rate by at least 10%.
OBJECTIVE:
The current year absenteeism rate of 25% for the Indian high school students will be reduced by 10% by… (End
of school; semester; etc.), JOM staff will identify and offer incentives for students to attend class.
ANALYSIS: The committee’s intent to reduce the absenteeism rate is clear and the time frame for the objective is
met. Now a program can be developed to reduce the rate of absenteeism.

Sample Goals and Objectives/Parts of a Performance Objective
EXAMPLE 2:
To provide cultural enrichment activities to enhance student's culture and traditions.
OBJECTIVE:
50% (figure based on your attainability) of students will participate in cultural enrichment activities. Such as MCN
Challenge Bowl, family night make and take, after school arts and crafts, and cultural activities/demonstrations.
24
Each Indian Education Committee member is required by federal regulations to conduct the needs assessment process on
an annual basis. As an IEC member, the responsibility for developing, printing, distribution and compiling of the results lies
with the entire JOM Indian Education Committee.
Parents, students, school administrators, or teachers may complete a needs assessment survey but only the PARENTS
responses are to be used in prioritizing the top three (3) choices. Students, school administrators, and teachers are
secondary and will only be used as an informational resource.
Decide on a survey design. Surveys should include, either, yes or no questions, written comments, or selective
ranking, etc. Review annually for any necessary changes.
Determine what questions and items will be used. Remember that your Title VI program may already be addressing
one or more of your needs assessment items. No supplanting.
Obtain objective information to document the existence of the identified needed items. Such as; drop-out rates,
attendance records, student grade reports, etc.
Decide effective distribution method(s). Look at previous methods and initiate the most successful. Some methods
that are effectively used:
Email or mail
Telephone
Electronic surveys
Hand deliver to students (School supply distribution is a good time for parent involvement.)
Collect the returned survey results and prioritize according to needs ranked highest.
Determine which prioritized needs will be addressed in your JOM program. Remember that the application budget
should reflect the program results.
Set time lines for each step of the Needs Assessment process and submission deadlines for effective time
management.
IEC review of needs assessment survey to be used.
Set distribution date of needs assessment survey. (At least 2 months prior to JOM application deadline)
Deadline for submission of surveys distributed.
Date set for tallying responses and prioritizing needs.
Preparation date for JOM program application utilizing the prioritized needs in addressing the education goals
and objectives.

Needs Assessment Checklist

Another factor to be taken into consideration when planning activities is to ensure that Johnson-O’Malley funds are used in
support with existing programs (supplemental) and not replacing programs that are being provided by another funding
resource (supplanting).
There are a number of different types of programs which school districts and Tribal Contractors can operate. These
programs should be developed according to the needs of the eligible Indian students as determined through a needs
assessment conducted by the parent committee and/or contractor. The amount of Johnson O’Malley funds available to the
contractor will also determine which programs can be reasonably and successfully implemented and operated.
How Items Can be Used with JOM Funds
A. Supplemental Programs – Programs that support and are in addition to existing programs in the public schools.
Johnson-O’Malley funds cannot be used to replace existing programs but may be used to support or enhance the regular
school programs.
B. Supplanting Programs – Supplanting means establishing or building programs using Johnson-O’Malley funds which
the school should already be providing from their regular budget. Johnson O’Malley funds cannot be used to replace funds
which should be provided for existing programs. Supplanting is not legal in Johnson-O’Malley programs.
EXAMPLES OF SOME TYPES OF PROGRAMS CURRENTLY BEING CONDUCTED THROUGH JOM:
Tutorial/Aides – Under this program, tutors or aides are provided to assist the classroom instructors. Tutors provide one-
on-one assistance to students needing special attention. Aides provide general assistance to a group of students, but may
also provide one-on-one assistance if the situation calls for it.
Teacher Aide – Assist teachers with skills reinforcement.
Tutors – Provide tutoring on a scheduled basis.
Pre-K/Kindergarten Enrichment – Funds identified for this service may be utilized in a variety of ways, such as staff,
supplies and equipment.
Family Liaison – Personnel, normally someone from within the community, employed to assist the school, parents and
students with school related issues such as attendance, grades or other problems.
Alternative Program – Funds utilized for this component provides for staff, supplies and equipment in an alternative
setting and uses different methods and techniques than the students experience in a more traditional program.
Indian Education Committee Activities – Funds budgeted for this activity enables members of the Indian Education
Committee to participate in training, attend educational workshops and provides opportunities to share information with
other Johnson-O’Malley programs.
28
Cultural Activities – Cultural activities in the form of art, music, literature, history enrichment projects, field trips and
speakers are an important part of Native American heritage. Local community resource people
are asked to provide enrichment activities to schools.
Career Development Counseling – Activities designed to inform students of career opportunities, job skills or higher
education programs available.
Educational Support – In order to ensure that program funds for this purpose are expended in a manner to meet the
greatest need, the IEC, with input from the contractor, should develop eligibility guidelines and specific areas where
assistance may be provided. The type of aid that is provided should enable the student to fully participate in the
educational programs available through the school.
Education Incentive Awards – Incentive awards for students who have excelled and meet one or more of a clearly
defined criteria. The awards should be based on citizenship, good/perfect attendance, academic achievement
(grades), active school participation, active leadership or potential artistic ability (fine arts, music, drama, dance, Native
American cultural/crafts), sports achievement and improved attitude/behavior.
Pro-Rata – Tribal contractors and state and local school officials should be cautioned about non-eligible students
participating in its program and activities funded solely through JOM funds. Whenever such participation is of significant
percentage and impact, provisions should be made to prorate the cost with other funding sources
No reimbursement will be made for items not included in an approved educational support budget.
An itemized voucher or invoice, purchase order or copies of actual receipts must be used as documentation of
purchase.
No cash payment will be made to any parent or student.
Schools are required to furnish certain items for students. Any item that the school furnishes to other students as part
of their school policy will not be an eligible item for JOM funds.
When Educational Support items are purchased in quantity, such as school supplies to be distributed to eligible
students, a signature sheet will be required showing the date, item received and the signature of the student or
parent. This sheet needs to be retained for monitoring purposes and will be reviewed by the monitoring agent.
A JOM contractor may choose to enter into an agreement with a local merchant to purchase school supplies, etc.
through a voucher or invoice from the merchant must clearly show the student’s name and item(s) purchased.

This definition is provided so that tribes would have the option to allow grandparents, and other extended family
members who are raising their grandchildren, nieces and nephews the opportunity to serve on the JOM parent
committee. Within the Indian communities it is unlikely that extended family members have legal custody (court
documentation) of the children they provide 24 hour care for. This definition is provided to offer the JOM program the
ability to include those extended family members, who are the primary care givers, the responsibility to be involved in
the education of the child.
In loco parentis is a Latin phrase defined as: “in the place of a parent?” The English language definition is: “Acting
as a temporary guardian of a child.” (Black’s Law Dictionary).
Johnson-O’Malley Indian Education Committee members, who are exercising in loco parentis, should also have daily
responsibility for a student’s health, safety and welfare.
PARENT – The term parent includes a legal guardian or other person standing in loco parentis (such as a
grandparent or stepparent with whom the child lives, or a person who is legally responsible for the child’s welfare).
The term "in loco parentis, according to its generally accepted common law meaning, refers to a person who has put
himself in the situation of a lawful parent by assuming the obligations incident to the parental relation without going
through the formalities necessary to legal adoption. It embodies the two ideas of assuming parental status and
discharging the parental duties....The key in determining whether the relationship is found in the intention of the
person allegedly in loco parentis to assume the status of a parent toward the child. The intent to assume such
parental status can be inferred from the acts of the parties. Other factors which are considered in determining
whether in loco parentis status has been assumed are (1) the age of the child; (2) the degree to which the child is
dependent on the person claiming to be standing in loco parentis; (3) the amount of support, if any, provided; and (4)
the extent to which duties commonly associated with parenthood are exercised....
The definitions of the term "in loco parentis" are often context specific, and no court or regulation has defined the
term exhaustively. The presence of a biological parent in the home may foreclose another from holding the status of
"in loco parentis."

Date_______________Time______________Location__________________________
1. Call to Order / Welcoming – By the Chairperson
As part of the welcoming, explain that this meeting is designed as a public hearing and that the parents will have an
opportunity to speak. Ask the parents not to fill out the needs assessment until later in the meeting. This way they
will have a better understanding of what they want to happen in the coming year.
2.    Invocation – Always a good thing to start with
3.    Roll Call – establishment of a quorum
If the public hearing is being heard by the IEC and if the hearing will call for action (motions) then a quorum will need to be
established
4. Approval of the agenda
The public hearing must have an agenda to keep order and for the audience to know the order of business. This also may be
the time to ask if they want any changes to the agenda.
5. Approval of the minutes
If the public hearing is acting in place of a regular IEC meeting and the IEC will be conducting business, then the minutes of
the last meeting may be addressed and approved OR the minutes can be tabled until the next IEC meeting.
6. Reports:
A. Indian Education Director (Coordinator) or Staff report Program Goals and Objectives.
During this section, you would have the staff or IEC explain the JOM Program Goals and Objectives. They are stated in your
application. Explain that the goals are based on the annual needs assessment and that each parent should take the time to fill
it out towards the end of the school year.
B. Program Financial Report / expenditure claims
During this section, you would explain how the JOM funds are being used and if there are any other funding sources that
assist the program. Example: If you have Title VI and JOM you can explain which program funds what or if programs are co-
funding to make them work.
C. Program updates
During this section, you would have the staff give an overview of the programs that are available through JOM. How the
parents can get their children involved and who they contact.
A sign in sheet must be used at ALL election meetings to verify that eligible parents are able to nominate or to be
nominated and/or to cast a vote. The sign in sheet must be submitted with the IEC Election Minutes.
7.Public Comment
Remember that a public hearing is not a debate but a format for the JOM parents and student to voice their opinions. The IEC
may not agree with their opinions but their opinions ARE important to the program. My advice if it turns into a debate is to say
“Thank You for your opinions and the IEC will take it under consideration.” You are not there to change their minds just to
listen to them and inform them of the program and how their input will assist in the planning. Explain that the public hearing
along with the written needs assessment will be used to develop the JOM Application.
If you have a small group, have everyone stand up and introduce themselves. If you have a large group ask those who wish to
speak to please (either stands where they are and address the IEC or come to the front and address the IEC). Make sure they
give their name (for the one taking the minutes) and the ages of their children in the JOM program. This way you would know
for sure that the people speaking are JOM eligible parents. You can also have students give their testimonies at this time.
You may want to set some type of guidelines:
1. 3 minutes per person to speak
2. No interruptions while a person has the floor
IEC Public Hearing/Election
77
IEC Agenda
Example
3. Comments must pertain to the JOM program.
4. Comments should be what you like about the program, what you dislike and what changes you would like to see.
5. If no one wants to speak, encourage them asking a specific parent what they like about the program. Pick people out
of the audience and ask them what they would change. Just get them talking. Ask the children what they like.
8. Election
You would take nominations from for the open seats; remember that I recommend that you elect parent committee
members and not officers. Officers should be elected by the parent committee once they are all seated. If you hold an election
by office then parents won’t run if the only position open is chairperson. You would scare away potential parents. If you first
elect them on the committee and then let them select their leadership it makes it easier. Follow the sample in the By-laws,
article V, section 1.
9. Closing
Let the parents know that the IEC will review their comments and try to make the improvements in the JOM Program. Thank
them for coming and have prepared some door prizes.
10. Door Prizes
(You can give tickets out when the parents turn in their needs assessment)
According to federal regulations, a JOM can purchase incentive items, such as door prizes for the parents. This incentive
clause was made to encourage parents to become actively involved in their children's education.
11. Announce date of next IEC meeting
Let the parent know when the next IEC meeting will be and encourage the parents to come.
12. Adjournment
You may ask for a closing prayer or just dismiss.
