About
Johnson O'Malley (JOM) is a federally-funded program which provides supplemental education programs for Native American students attending public schools. The Chickasaw Nation receives the funds from the federal government and in turn contracts with the public schools within the tribal boundaries. Schools receive funds based on the number of Native American students attending each school. Funds must be used to supplement the education of the Native American students. Examples of programs are: tutoring, school supplies, incentives, and field trips. Programs must supplement not supplant the existing programs in the schools. The program is overseen by a committee elected from the parents of Native American students enrolled in the school district. The parent committee should be active in the planning and implementing of the JOM program
