Item — Box: 31, Folder: 5

Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_31_5_0028

Scope and Contents

The letter is a plea to Honorable Dewey Bartlett to save Chilocco Indian School from closing, as it provides a tailored education for students with special needs. The school offers special education services and has a dedicated staff trained to meet the needs of exceptional children. The letter argues that the cost of educating these students is minor compared to the cost of keeping them on welfare, and closing the school would leave these students without appropriate education. The author requests support in saving Chilocco for the benefit of the students.
