Constituting the fifth progress report for 1975 onthe Presidential/Secretarial Objective (a mandate calling forinvolvement by the end of Fiscal Year 1975 of at least one-fourth ofthe Bureau of Indian Affairs schools in a management system chosen bytheir American Indian clients), this report identifies the 78Bureau-Operated schools participating in the project for 1975 and thetype of managemett system chosen by each. Tabular information ispresented for each of the following Area Offices: Aberdeen;Albuquerque, Anadarko; Eastern; Juneau; Muskogee; Navajo; Phoenix;and Portland. Presetted via tabular and narrative summaries, theinformation relative to Area Offices reveals that: a follow-up by theOffices is generally needed, particularly documentation on tribaldecisions; a tribal resolution is needed when a 'ribe elects toretain the Federal option; the Navajo Area hes requested a two-yearmoratorium on contracting; eight Area Offices are currentlyparticipating in the Objective, while four are not; and furtherreduction of the participating number is likely for Fiscal Year 1976.(0C)

FOREWORD
intrior Departnent has irrçlenented what is called the "Secretarial
,mtional Planning System COPS)." This system amounts to achieving
A:codabflty through management by Objectives The following Objective

ear
By the end of FiE,oal Year 1975, at least one-fourthof the Bureau Schools will operate ulder the
Aanavement System chosen by those served by theschool.
On November 4 1974 the Commissioner cf Indian Affairs infomed the Arfla
Offices that the "Secretarial Objective was elevated to a "Presidential
j)T- ti e" thus resulting in the Project receiving the hipllest prior ty
ir the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

vised aq foil(
-the end of FY 75, in at least one-fourth (50) ofthe Bureau Schools, by Ufficial action of a Tribalor Alaskan Village Government, a choice of th2Management System will be made by those served bythe schools.

This is -17-1 fifth pm___ iris for Fis
Secretarial Ohje tive for TrIliration. This t rt!t1 status of
the project' at the Agen_y, Area art,_ ]untral Office ievAs for p3riod
of July, 2974 through June, 1975.
Lncluded in Lthis re'Dort are indiviciul progress reports for eight of tiv.1
twelve participating, Area cffices. In addition, there is a Bt7,r
summation of FY 75 Presidea-tial/Secretarial Objective activities.
The Objective as stated in nay, 1974 called for the involvement of at
least one-fourth (50) of the Bureau sehools which would operate under
the Management System chosen by those served by the scthools, by the end
of Fiscal Year 1975. This report identifies the 78 Bureau-Operated
schools Which participated in the project for FY 75 and the type of
Management System chosen for each school.
The continuation of the project into Fiscal Year 1976 will allow addi-
tional Bureau schoolv to participate in the Objective and will allow a
more gradual transition period for those schools already identified wIth
the t iieetive. "Gradual approach," means that a tribe could in'ç'lement
itE Ta _nt choice by assuming any part of the schools operation an
ultimately assuming total school operations if that is their intent.
Recently, negotiations were completed on two contracts to evaluate the
p gress of the Presidential/Secretarial Obj ctive for FY 75. The
National Indian Training and Research Center contracted to evaluate the

AREA OFFICE SUMMARIES
A carefill review of the individual Area Office summaries will indicate
that follow,-up by the Area Offices is generally needed. In particular,
the Area Office must secure the required documentation indicating the
decision made by the tribal government expressing their choice of the
school nanagement options. A tribal resolution is still needed if the
tribe elects to retain the Federal option.
The implementation of the Presidential/Secretar1,11 Objective was dis-
continued for the Navajo Area due to Tribal Chairman MacDonald's request
for a two-year mrator1inn on contncting. As a resu't there are eight
Area Offices participating and four that are not. A further reduction
of the number of participating Areas is likely for Fiscal Year 1976.

DATE: June 27, 1975
The second meeting of the Area Project fulSnag aining to thePresidential/Secretarial Objective School t Options provedto be a productive session. The following comments cover a selectednmmber of points made during the course of the meeting:
(1) Dr. Benham opened the meeting and explained the overall importanceof the Presiderrvial/Secretarial Objective and that the continuationof the School Management Options has top priority for FY 76.Et. Benham further stated that other Bureau Program Objectiveswere basically contract oriented whereas the Education Objectivehad other viable options.
(2) Et. bpkins eported on the May 28 1975 a_aretarial Briefingwdth the signate Hathaway in attendance along withCanmissioner thonipson. Dr. Hopkins stated the Education Objectivehas led the %ay in the Bureau and the project is continuing topr'gress because of the able assistance rendered by the Areaucation staff. Dr. Hopkins informed.the group that negotiations
have been completed on two external contracts to evaluate thePresidential Objective. The National Indian Training and ResDanter will evaluate the following Area Offices:

Dr. Hopkins introduced:Lyle Eaton as the replacement for Dr. Streiff.Mr. Elton will be the responsible person in coordinating efforts forthe attainment of the Objective.
Mr. Elton reviewed 'the progress of the past years activities involving
the Presidential/Secretarial Objective. Mr. Elton stressed the pointthat the participating Area Offices should have in hand all necessaryand pertinent documentation for reporting purposes. Individualsessions were to be scheduled later in the day to bring the IERCfiles up to date.. The monitoring and reporting process was discussedin depth and it was agreed upon that the current reporting processwas effective and adequate at this time.
There were questions raised by the Area Project Managers concerningTape 112 which deAls with Needs Assessments. It was reported thatTape 112 was ineffective and sometimes I inappropriate for presentations
to non-professional persons. It was suggested that a new tape bedeveloped for the community and that Tape 112 be directed primarily
to a school staff setting. Discussion ensued regarding other por-tions of the tnaining package and it was explained that the trainingpackage was-only one vehicle that could be used in relaying infor-mation to Indian Communities. The training package was developed
with the thought that it should have "replioability" throughoutthe Bureau and that it can be modified to meet each Area's individualneeds.
It was stated.that because of presentations of the training packagethat Indian Communities were requesting; additional iuformation andservices from the Bureau to improve their schools. Such requestsinclude requests for school board training and information concern-ing "how to get' new facrl
Public Law 93-638 was discussed at this point. It was stated thatthe PSO would be forced to relate to 638 but as of this date, noformal guideliriesl have been distributed. However, it is clear
that the role Of the Tribal governments will be strengthened. Aproblem area emerged at this point in relation to two items:
(1) Policy needs to be set in dealing with Off-Reservatian Boarding
Schools. With whom do you contract? (2) It is difficult if not
impossible at certain areas to get Tribal resolutions expressing
their decision for their school management choice. No comretesolutions offered - follow-up is needed.
(4) External Evaluation presentation by Wayne Pratt and Bob Flores,
representatives of the National Indian Training and Research Center.
Mr. Pratt stated the Purpose of the Evaluation is to improve the
project. Mr. Pratt stated he 1..culd:1) meet with Co-Oontnactor and share ideas involving the
evaluation2) involve BIA superintendents

(5) The final session of the day included individual meetings betweenMr. Elton and various Area Project
As nentioned earlier, it was a productive meeting and it is hoped thatwith the arrival of Mr. Elton that activity involving the Presidential/SecretariR1 Objective will increase greatly.

SPECIAL. CONCERNS
Sevensl major concerns rg- L the June meeting of Area Projec
Managers held in Albuquerque. Key concerns were as follows:
Tribal resolutions are difficult if not impossible to obtain in most
Area Offices. There were no concrete solutions offered, however
it appears the Agency Superintendent wIll be a major force in
obtaining the resolution. COntinued effort and follow-up
Office personnel is needed.
The new role fbr Tribal governments in dealing with off-reservation
boarding schools (ORBS) is unclear. It was suggested that action
be taken in developing approadhes to the Tribal government principle.
Managers stated filmstrip #2 was ineffective and some-
times inapprcpriate for presentations to the rrrinunity It was
suggested that filmstrip #2 be directed primarily to a school staff
setting and a new filmstrip developed for the Lcinnunity in dealing
with needs assessment.
Area Project Managers expressed deep conc&i in individual meetings
with Central Office staff that Tribes are viewing the Presidential/
Secretarial Ohdective only as a Contracting Ortion. As a result,
many tribal governments and organizations are hesitant to partici-
pate. Such is the ease for the Navajo Area, whereby the Tribal
Chairman declared a two year moratorium on all starltr. It is
Important that tribal governments and organizations be informed
that conlAucting is only one option available to them.

It was noted that the Presidential retarial Objective will
become a Departmental Objective for FY 1976. However, continued
emphasis will be given to the project fOr Indian control of
schools and will again be top priori

PROGIWI AUDIT AND REVIEW
On May 7, 1975 negotiations had been completed on two contracts to
evaluate the Presidential Objective. It was decided that two con-
tracts to Indian firms would best suit the purpose. The National
Indian Training and Research Center (NITRC) of Tempe Arizona, will
nvaluate the Western service of the BIA including the following Area
Offices:
Albuquerque
Juneau
Navajo
Phoenix
Poilland
Eastern Area Offices will be evaluated by George Underwood Evaluation
and Research of TUlsa, Oklahoma. These Area Offices include:
Anadarko
Aberdeen
Muskogee
Eastern Area
The effective dates of the contracts will be May 12 throu h December o
1975. The pr ary task to be undertaken is to determine the progress of
the implementation of the Presidential Objective made to date at the
Central, Area and Agency levels.
The information obtained from the contractors will be used fbr future
planning and managing of the project.
