- Proposed Education Guidelines and Procedures: Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma. American Indian Education Educational Finance Educational Needs Educational Objectives Educational Planning Educational Strategies Elementary Secondary Education Guidelines Resource Allocation Vocational Education These educational guidelines and procedures were developed after extensive review of current education programs for the Sac and Fox Nations of Oklahoma. The guidelines, prepared by a committee of local educators appointed by a tribal business committee, examined the anticipated needs for future generations of the Sac and Fox people. The document includes a summary of current Indian education programs available to the Sac and Fox. The guidelines call for improvements in twelve areas: (1) higher education preparation; (2) scholarships and fellowships; (3) vocational training plant and services; (4) tribally controlled primary school; (5) library expansion; (6) tribal youth leadership; (7) tribal youth employment training; (8) fundamental educational training for business committee members; (9) language/cultural retainment; (10) substance abuse program; and (11) planned parenthood (sex education). Each of these areas is broken down into goals, suggested programs of activity, guidelines and procedures to be followed, potential funding sources, and a suggested time frame for completion of the goal. There are also discussions, recommendations, and concluding remarks for each area. The document asserts that relevant educational activities and services should be imperative as the Sac and Fox tribes enter the 21st century. Recent trends in Indian education suggest that government funding for Indian education will be more limited in the years to come. This prospect means that the Sac and Fox Nation must become more active in public school education if it is to achieve results and improve the education of its children. (TES)
