In August 1973, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) announced its decision to close the Intermountain Indian Boarding School since its enrollment had declined from 2,150 to 800 students. This decision was based on two reports which gave the following reasons: adequate facilities existed at schools on or near the Navajo Reservation to meet the students' needs; the Navajo Tribe's policy that Navajo students be educated on the reservation; and the high costs for operating the school. Tribal Councils and Indian leaders and organizations opposed the BIA's decision. In January 1973, an All Indian Study Commission was formed to determine "whether or not adequate need existed by students of Tribes other than Navajo to permit maintaining the Intermountain school at the 800 student level for the 1974-75 school year". This report presents the: All Indian Study Commission's report, BIA's response, and Navajo Area School Board Association's resolution. Updated information is given on: the Intermountain school's monthly enrollment and attendance; off-reservation boarding school enrollment for 1972, 1973, and 1974; off-reservation boarding school admissions policies regarding program planning and development, attendance boundaries and student eligibility; the House on Appropriations instructions regarding the Intermountain school; and BIA's school facilities planning policy.
