The Intermountain Evaluation Task Force was organized following the decision of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) Navajo Area Office to phase out the Intermountain Boarding School in Brigham City, Utah, which provides high school education for Navajo youth (Appendix A). The policies of self-determination and a preference for schooling Navajo youngsters as close to home as possible brought about the phase out decision. This in turn questioned the need for the off-reservation schools. It was this to which the Task Force addressed itself. Three areas of exploration for possible uses of the school facility were: (1) the need for a secondary school for American Indian children from other tribes; (2) the need of the facility for other education, i.e., a post-secondary technical vocational school; and (3) the possible utilization of the facility for non-BIA purposes. The findings indicated that: (1) a secondary school serving various tribal groups does not seem desirable; (2) post-secondary education can be more easily obtained elsewhere; and (3) the possibilities for utilizing the facilities for other non-Bureau purposes were many but all conjectural at the present time. Also included were 8 appendixes. (FF)
