NARRATIVE REPORT
Upon the closing of the last federally operated Indian schools in Wisconsin in
June, 1947, the State Department of Public Instruction negotiated its first Johnson-
O'Malley contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. During the 1947-48 school year,
there were 32 local districts participating in the program; 22 elementary districts
and 10 high school districts. Although eligible Indian students lived on non-taxable
Indian lands, they also lived within the boundaries of a school district, if they
were in the elementary grades. There were many Indian high school students, as well
as non-Indian students, who were non-resident pupils. These Indian children enrolled
in the high school of their choice as tuition students. The preceding year's legal
tuition rate for that school, as approved by the Department of Public Instruction,
was used in determining tuition payments.
From 1947 through 1958-59, school district consolidation affected 21 small
independent school districts that enrolled Indian children. This resulted in the
creation of larger school districts with improved facilities, greater integration of
students and improved educational opportunities for all students.
The 1959 session of the Legislature enacted legislation which required all
area in the state to be in a high school district by July 1, 1962. Currently, all
districts receiving Johnson-O'Malley funds are high school districts with the ex-
ception of Lac du Flambeau. During 1968-69, there were 23 local districts which
enrolled Indian pupils eligible for Johnson-O'Malley payments; however, 7 of these
districts received federal funds only from the Public Law 874 program, since these
payments exceeded the total payment due under the Johnson-O'Malley contract.
The Department of Public Instruction contracts with local districts to reimburse
them for instruction and transportation costs, as much money per resident Indian
pupil in average daily attendance as the school district raises by local property tax
per resident non-Indian pupil in average daily attendance, plus the normal charge
for lunches served to needy Indian children. The local school district is assisted
financially by the Johnson-O'Malley program to the same degree that it levies a tax
on itself for non-Indian pupils. The manner and extent to which the state of
Wisconsin participates with local school districts in providing quality education for
all areas of the state is described in the following section of this report.
In the local schools which are eligible for Johnson-O'Malley contracts, there
is a growing awareness among administrators, teachers and most Indian parents that
there are educational needs that are not being met. In many areas, there is a
sincere desire to want to improve this situation; however, a gap exists between
wanting to improve the educational program for Indians and being able to do so.
This gap is being bridged, slow as it might be, by increasing personal involvement
of Indian parents in the affairs of their schools by better communication between
the Indian community and school personnel to consider mutual problems and solutions.
Local in-service training programs for teachers are being directed toward
acquainting the teachers with the Indian culture, values and environment. A two-
weeks Workshop for Teachers of Indian Children was held at Wisconsin State
University - Superior from July 7 through July 18. Objectives of the workshop
included better understanding of Indians and Indian culture and improvement of the
quality of the educational programs and services for Indian youth. The workshop
was supported financially by the Bureau of Indian Affairs through the Johnson-
O'Malley program.
A three day "Institute for Teachers of Cnippewa Indian Children" was held at
Northland College, Ashland, Wisconsin. The entire program was planned and conducted
as a joint effort by teachers and school officials from a number of schools. Topics
of discussion included Wisconsin Chippewa History, Indian Child in the Classroom,
Chippewa Cultural and Historical Insights, and Creative Counseling Practices with
Indian Students.
Hoare- School Coordinators have been employed to serve the Lakeland Union High
School district, Ashland school district, and the Webster and Siren districts. The
functions of the Coordinator include:
Counseling with Indian youth to encourage their best effortsin all school activities and to keep them in school untilhigh school graduation.
Counseling with Indian students who have dropped out ofschool to help them locate some type of occupational trainingwhich will help prepare them for gainful employment.
Counsel with Indian young people who have returned from statecorrectional institutions to help them plan their futureactivities through continuing their education and throughemployment.
To work with Indian parents, students, school personnel andother concerned agencies to develop better understanding andto promote and implement policies, programs and activitiesthat are mutually acceptable.
Special programs for Indian pupils were conducted during the past year. A
four-week Summer Science Program was conducted on the Lac Courte Orielles Reservation.
Twenty-five boys in grades 7, 8 and 9 participated in this science education project
designed especially to be held on an American Indian reservation. It consisted of
morning classes and afternoon workshops in which the participants had the opportunity
to experiment with electronic circuits. It was funded by the Office Economic
Opportunity and conducted by Dr. Kirk McVoy, University of Wisconsin.
The Webster school district conducted tutoring classes and recreational
activities at Danbury. The Tribal Council provided the building and utilities; the
Webster school district provided the equipment and supplies and the salary of the
teacher was paid through the Johnson-O'Malley program. The number of students par-
ticipating varied from 10 to 15 on each of three nights per week. This program also
included supervised recreational activities on Saturday and Sunday. The program will
be continued for the 1969-70 year.
A summer program in Auto Mechanics and Metal Spinning was conducted for the
Indian high school students in the Hayward area. This program was funded under
Public Law 89-10 Title I.
A credit course in Indian History and Indian Culture has been added to the high
school curriculum at West De Pere. It is offered to all students on an elective
basis.
The Hayward and Winter school districts continue to cooperate in operating a
Study Center, on the reservation, for Indian pupils. The Center is open two nights
each week and is supervised by teachers from both districts who are assisted by
Indian adults. Participation is generally by students in grades 7 through 12, who
utilize the program to improve their academic work and to find an opportunity for
social contacts. The students are enthusiastic about the program and have indicated
that the Center should be open more nights each week. This program is fUnded under
Title I.
Special after-school transportation is being provided to encourage and enable
Indian students to participate in co-curricular activities.
Post high school education opportunities are available through vocational and
technical training scholarships provided by both the state of Wisconsin and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
For the Indian high school graduate planning a college education, there is
available a jointly operated State of Wisconsin, Bureau of Indian Affairs College-
Scholarship Grant Program. In 1956-57, grants were awarded to 11 students.
In 1968-69, grants were awarded to 82 applicants. Total participation through
1968-69 was 256.
The Department of Public Instruction and the University of Wisconsin, Division
of Cummunity Programs, share in the services of a Home Economist who is devoting full
time in working with Indian parents and students in the home environment. Her
efforts are coordinated so as to offer and provide services to the school adminis-
tration, when requested. Programs have focused on information relating t) health,
particularly foods and nutrition, housing needs and the education of youth.
Home economists of various counties work with the agent in making home visits,
planning programs and teaching. Opportunities are developed during the programs to
include discussions on education with respect to the role and responsibilities of
the home and the school, and the resulting benefits to the child.
Although progress is being made in improving Indian education, many needs remain.
Consideration and action can be taken on the following:
1. Joint participation of school administrators and Indianleaders in planning Johnson-O'Malley programs;
2. Involve Indian parents in education affairs;
3. Indian people becoming active in school board electionsand, in general, realize that voting can be an importanttool;
4. Recruit more Indians as teachers, counselors and Indian aides;
5. Stress educational programs that will help the Indian childimprove his self-image;
6. Family-school liaison personnel;
T. Cultural enrichment programs;
8. Special transportation;
9. Organizing Indian education committees;
10. Joint in-service training programs for teachers and
parents;
11. Stress the fact that an Indian is a student first andan Indian second, in terms of his education;
12. Inform the non-Indian public, through school budgetbreakdown, of the financial contribution to the districton behalf of the Indian children;
13. Stress quality vocational education;
14. Provide guidance counselors at both elementary and
secondary levels;
15. Encourage and assist capable Indian students to enroll
in a college program;
16. Evaluate and revise instructional material;
17, Statewide Indian education committee to help plan Indian
education programs;
18. Remedial classes and tutoring services in reading, mathematics,
science and English;
19. Adult education programs; and
20. Utilize the influence that parents have with their children.
This can be accomplished by home visits by the teachers and
school visits by the parents.
