THE MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA TRIBE (2024)

THE MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA TRIBE

JOHNSON O’MALLEY PROGRAM

LEGISLATION

The Johnson O’Malley (JOM) Act authorizes contracts for the education of

eligible Indian students enrolled in public schools and previously private

schools. The local program is operated under an education plan, approved by

the BIA, which contains educational objectives to adequately address the needs

of Indian students.

The JOM Act, passed in 1934, has been amended various times but its main

objective remains the same: To ensure that Indian children receive the

educational opportunities that would not otherwise be provided.

There are two main requirements under the JOM act to assure parent

participation and control: (1) The Indian Education Committee (IEC) and (2)

The Education Plan.

The JOM Act recognizes that American Indian and Alaska Native children in

public schools have special needs due to their unique social, economic and

cultural environment.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION and STUDENT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

The federal government under the authority of the JOM Act provides financial

assistance for supplemental educational programs to meet the special needs of

eligible Indian students in public schools and for special programs for age 3

through grade 12 children.

•

Eligible JOM students are eligible if they can provide documentation

that they are or at least one parent or grandparent is a member of a

federally recognized tribe.

Ø NOTE: Native Hawaiian students are JOM eligible. Canadian

Indian students are not.

The purpose of JOM is to provide supplementary financial assistance to meet

the unique and specialized educational needs of Indian children. These

supplementary funds are not to take the place of federal, state and local funds.

Supplemental programs and activities may include academic support, teacher

support and educational support items. Funds may be used for academic

remediation, tutoring, preschool programs, summer school classes, cultural

enrichment, field trips, transportation, medical examinations and school

supplies.

JOM funds are contracted to tribes, tribal organizations, public school districts

and state departments of education.

JOM AND TRIBAL PRIORITY ALLOCATIONS (TPA)

The JOM program was transferred to the TPA activity of the Tribal Budget

System in FY 1996. The TPA allows tribes to prioritize and determine funding

levels for various programs funded under TPA, giving tribes flexibility in

reprogramming to meet their independent funding needs. A methodology was

developed to distribute JOM funds to tribal TPA bases using the FY 1995

student count. This base is used in determining per pupil allocations to TPA

and non-TPA Public Law 93-638 contracts with tribes and tribal organizations.

INDIAN EDUCATION COMMITTEE (IEC) INFORMATION

The Indian Education Committee (IEC) is a governing body (usually established

through an election process) which is comprised of parents of eligible JOM

students. Note: The IEC is sometimes referred to as the Local Indian

Education Committee (LIEC), JOM Parent Committee, Parent Advisory

Committee (PAC) and other acronyms. This guide will use the term IEC for the

JOM parent committee. The IEC is a governing body not an advisory body.

The MCT suggests that each IEC be comprised of at least five (5) and no more

than eleven (11) committee members.

ELECTIONS

The IEC is responsible for conducting elections in accordance with their

bylaws. The IEC may opt to have a non-Partisan person act as the election

judge and conduct the election. Election procedures should be part of the IEC

bylaws.

IEC Eligibility Criteria (who may serve on the IEC)

According to the federal regulations 25 CFR part 273.15 (1), the IEC is elected

from parents or legal guardians of eligible Indian students who are 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 the oversight of

the JOM program should not be eligible to serve on the IEC. This should be

reflected in the bylaws.

IN LOCO PARENTIS

The term “parent” includes a legal guardian or other person standing in loco

parentis (Latin phrase defined as “in place of a parent” or “acting as a

temporary guardian of a child.)

The general 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 is 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 had 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 status of “in

loco parentis.

The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe (MCT) has adopted regulations that allow for

Indian grandparents to serve on the IEC, provided their grandchild is JOM

eligible and they (the grandparent wishing to serve on the committee) possesses

at least ¼ degree Indian blood or is an enrolled member of a federally

recognized tribe.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE

Any parent or legal guardian of an eligible JOM student enrolled within the

district may vote. Note: Students are not allowed by federal regulation to vote

or hold a position on the IEC.

Voting by proxy is not allowed.

ELECTION PROCESS

Nominations will be solicited, published and kept on at the project’s office.

An election board will be established by IEC consisting of an election judge and

clerks (who will be responsible for counting ballots determined by voter

registration, determining and certifying election results.)

Selection of IEC will be determined by majority vote.

Election results shall be published within the Indian community.

Elections will be conducted according to bylaws.

If a regular member resigns or is removed from the IEC, the nominee with the

next highest number of votes may become a regular member by appointment or

as stipulated in the bylaws.

Ballots should be maintained for 60 days or as stipulated in bylaws.

EXPECTATIONS OF IEC MEMBERS:

parent committee elections, conduct public hearings, recommend criteria for

employment, screen and recommend prospective staff, recommend curriculum,

recommend materials and teaching methods, approve budget preparation and

execution, approve all programs contracted, hear grievances of JOM program

according to procedure stated in the bylaws, annually review and ratify bylaws,

and conduct an annual needs assessment.

The IEC participates fully in the planning, development, implementation

and evaluation of the JOM program.

BEING AN IEC MEMBER MEANS:

That you make every effort to implement a program that will address identified

needs (from the results of the needs assessment survey).

IEC OFFICERS AND DUTIES

Officers may consist of a chairperson, vice-chairperson and secretary. (There

may be other officer positions if determined by the IEC. These positions should

be included in the bylaws).

Officers are selected by majority vote at the first official IEC meeting upon

completion of the election.

Duties of Chair: Presides at the regular and special meetings, sets the agenda

with the assistance of the JOM project coordinator or Indian education staff,

signs all official documents such as the education plan, vouchers, budget,

evaluation, and any revisions or modifications to the documents. The Chair

only votes in the event of a tie.

Duties of Vice-Chair: Assumes the duties of the Chair when he/she is absent

from a meeting or when the Chair resigns from the committee.

Duties of the Secretary: Keeps complete records of all meetings, is custodian of

all records, submits copies of all IEC minutes to the MCT JOM Program

Coordinator and will submit all documents to the Chair or newly elected

Secretary within 14 days after expiration of their term.

IEC MEETINGS:

The IEC shall meet monthly/quarterly at a time and place determined by the

IEC (according to bylaws.)

In addition to regular meetings, special meetings may be held at the call of the

Chair. The call for special meetings must state the time, place and purpose of

the meeting and must be called at a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the

meeting date or according to the bylaws.

The order of business at IEC meetings includes rollcall, agenda announcement

(including changes, additions, or deletions), approval of minutes, old business,

new business, staff reports, activities and community forum.

Notice of meetings will be published or posted within the community for all who

place. All meetings will follow parliamentary procedure.

One-half of the members plus one shall constitute a quorum to conduct official

business. With the presence of a quorum the Chair will announce the agenda

for the meeting.

The Chair will recognize members of the Indian community who wish to

address the committee during the time set on the agenda for that purpose.

The Chair will announce the results of each vote and will declare the meeting

adjourned when the committee so votes or where applicable in the event of a

sudden emergency affecting the safety of those present.

SUBCOMMITTEES

Subcommittees may be formed as needed. The function of the subcommittee

will be to facilitate the operation of the IEC by carrying out business that does

not require the input of the full IEC or by doing preliminary work to prepare for

some action to be taken by the full IEC at a later time.

The chairperson of each subcommittee shall be appointed by the IEC Chair,

who shall also designate the life (timeframe) of each subcommittee upon its

creation.

Membership of working subcommittees will be members of the IEC.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

There are several reports and items that all MCT JOM projects are required to

submit throughout the year and must be IEC reviewed/approved.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND SURVEY RESULTS:

•

A needs assessment survey is a questionnaire designed by the IEC to

gather information about the specialized and unique educational and

culturally related needs of eligible students. It provides direction for

program development, fiscal and program management. A needs

assessment is conducted annually.

•

Needs assessment surveys may be conducted by mail, phone, door-todoor, in-person or however the IEC determines will be the most effective

way of reaching the parents and getting the surveys completed.

•

Needs assessment surveys may be formatted to rank needs from high to

low, contain yes or no type questions and provide space for written

comments.

•

The IEC determines what questions will be asked and who (along with

parents of JOM students) may complete the survey to identify as many

student need areas as possible. The IEC may consider asking teachers

and administrators.

•

The IEC determines who will collect the completed results/survey forms.

The results will be prioritized according to what needs are deemed most

important to least important.

•

The IEC determines which needs will be covered by looking at factors

such as how much it will cost, how much time it will take and how much

space is available to meet the needs.

JOM funds should be used to supplement existing programs an to

meet the unique educational needs of Indian children. Supplanting

is illegal.

PUBLIC HEARING:

•

A public hearing is a meeting called by the IEC to inform the public

about the JOM program. Results of the needs assessment are made

available for review and comment. The public hearing is an opportunity

for the IEC to get additional parent and community input to consider

when developing the education plan.

•

A copy of the public hearing notice (such as a newspaper clipping) must

be submitted to the MCT JOM office. The notice should state the date,

time and location of the public hearing. (The notice should be posted 1-2

weeks prior or according to bylaws.) Minutes of the public hearing are

also to be submitted to the MCT JOM office.

EDUCATION PLAN:

•

The education plan is a written document which outlines the plans for

providing services to meet the identified needs of eligible JOM students.

It explains what the measurable goals and objectives are and how the

project plans to achieve them.

Goals are general statements of end results – they are a necessary first

step in the planning cycle. Goals are usually quite general and are

subject to a variety of interpretations. At present, most of the ends

achieved in education are stated as goals. (Example: The goal for the

JOM project is to have an increased participation in extra-curricular

activities.)

Objectives define specific outcomes in measurable terms. (Example: By

the end of the school year, 25 JOM students will have participated in a

cultural activity as documented by Indian Education staff.)

- Note: An objective will answer these questions: Who, does what, when

and how will it be measured?

•

All programs, components and activities are to be in the education plan.

•

The education plan contains the needs assessment survey results and

identifies methods to be used in evaluating the program.

The major function of an evaluation is to see if the program is carried out

according to the education plan. It shows the program’s strengths and

weaknesses and whether or not a program accomplished what it said it

would. An evaluation should be viewed as a tool for improving or

strengthening existing programs.

•

Projects have the option to complete one-, two- or three-year education

plans. Note: A needs assessment must still be done yearly.

•

All education plans shall include the following four areas of development:

(1). Assessment of educational needs of the Indian students. A needs

assessment will identify needs and establish priorities. It provides

direction for the development of programs to meet specific needs.

(2). Goals and measurable objectives that will address Indian student

needs. Goals represent long-range outcomes. Objectives describe what is

to be achieved in a specific timeframe and how it will be measured.

(3). Development of project design to meet objectives. This will include

community goals as determined by the needs assessment to provide

direction for the program. The program components will define the

various service areas.

(4). Quantitative evaluation of the program’s effectiveness. The

evaluation process should be used in program planning for the needs

assessment, objectives and implementation. Evaluation also provides

direction in project planning.

QUARTERLY REPORTS

•

Quarterly report forms are sent to all MCT JOM projects. The information

requested is for a specific period of time that includes program

objectives, activities underway, evaluation of activities, accomplishments,

IEC and student information. Note: Since covid, some projects have

opted to submit combined quarterly reports or one report that includes

information for the full year.

BYLAWS

•

Bylaws establish the governing framework and dictate rules for the IEC

to follow.

•

Each IEC has the responsibility of drafting, amending, approving,

reviewing and annually ratifying their bylaws.

•

The bylaws should include: The name of the JOM IEC, the purpose of the

JOM IEC, membership criteria, election criteria (procedure, election of

officers, terms of office and removal procedures), grievance procedures,

powers and duties of JOM IEC, officers (chair, vice-chair, secretary and

any other officers), meeting information (notices, agenda, quorum and

special meetings), parliamentary procedures, amendment procedures,

policies and ratification.

FINAL BUDGET

•

The final JOM budget is a form that provides the amount of JOM funds

allocated to the project. It must be prepared, reviewed and approved by

the IEC.

•

The MCT JOM Program Coordinator sends the final budget form to the

identified JOM contact person (many times this person is the Indian

Education Director.) The IEC provides directions as to whom the form is

to be initially sent.

•

The budget form provides areas/line items where JOM expenditures can

be made (more information/details on expenditures is provided in this

guide.)

•

The IEC Chair’s signature on the form is required which indicates full

IEC review and approval.

JOM IEC MEMBERSHIP LIST/ROSTER

•

The IEC membership list/roster form includes the names of the current

IEC members and identifies the chair, vice-chair, and any other officers.

It should state when the most recent election was held and when the

next election is scheduled.

•

This information must be submitted to the MCT JOM office.

IEC MINUTES

•

Minutes are the official records of IEC meetings. They document

decisions made by the IEC pertaining to their respective JOM project.

•

Minutes of all IEC meetings are to be submitted to the MCT JOM office.

JOM STUDENT LIST and JOM INDIAN STUDENT CERTIFICATION FORMS

•

A JOM student list identifying students attending the district believed to

be JOM eligible is sent from the school (generally the Indian Education

department) to the MCT JOM office. The MCT JOM program coordinator

checks for existing documents (JOM Indian student certification forms)

on file verifying JOM eligibility.

•

JOM Indian Student Certification Form is a one-page document which is

to be completed by the parent/guardian for each student on the JOM

student list. There are 3 sections on the form: The first section requests

information about the student including name, address, grade, school

attending, date-of-birth, blood quantum, tribal affiliation, reservation

and enrollment number. The second section requests information about

the parents including names, dates-of-birth, tribal affiliation, enrollment

numbers, parental status and request for release of information that

includes a signature and date. The third section is verification of

information (as to whether a student meets JOM eligibility criteria) and

must be completed and signed by a tribal official.

•

All Indian students who wish to utilize JOM services must have a

completed and verified JOM Indian Student Certification Form on file at

the MCT JOM office.

DE MINIMUS PARTICIPATION (must be IEC approved)

•

De Minimus Participation shall be interpreted as non-eligible (JOM

student) participation that is insignificant in terms of affecting the cost of

the program or activity and is not denying the participation of any

eligible (JOM) students. Example: If a project is planning an activity

such as a field trip, guest speaker or cultural activity and there will be no

additional cost to the program, the non-eligible student may participate.

MCT JOM VOUCHERS

•

MCT JOM vouchers are forms that are used to request payment for JOM

expenditures. Note: Vouchers must correlate directly with the IEC JOM

budget form. (A sample voucher is provided in this guide.)

•

MCT JOM vouchers are provided by the MCT JOM office and may be

requested as needed.

•

The process for payment of JOM expenditures will be as follows:

(1) Complete an MCT JOM voucher (include who is to be paid, lineitem codes and JOM Chair signature.)

(2) One of the following items must accompany a completed

voucher: an invoice, receipt, or district printout from the

business office (identifying the expenditures to be reimbursed.)

(3) NEW: A W9 form must be completed for payment to all

vendors except S and C corporations.

(4) Please provide a date on all documents signed (even if there is

not space to do so).

273.113 HOW CAN THE FUNDS BE USED UNDER THE JOM ACT

An eligible entity may use the funds available under the contract to provide

educational benefits to eligible Indian students to:

(a) Establish, carry out programs or expand programs in existence before

the contract period that provide:

(1) Remedial instruction, career, academic, and college-readiness

counseling, and cultural programs,

(2) Selected courses related to academic and professional disciplines; or
