WHEREAS: The National JOM Association is the collective voice of over 1.2 million Native American students and their parents/guardians nationwide who are currently eligible to receive Johnson-O'Malley services; and
WHEREAS: The National JOM Association declares that the academic, mental, social, spiritual and physical well-being of our JOM students and parents/guardians are our highest priority; and

WHEREAS: The National JOM Association supports the clarification of the 25 CFR 273.12 Eligible Students as required in the Johnson-O'Malley Supplemental Education Modernization Act (P.L. 115-404); and
WHEREAS: The 1986 Ninth Circuit Federal District Court's ruling in Diane Zarr vs. Earl Barlow, 800 F.2d 1484 (9th Cir. 1986) the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1986, issued a program guidance memorandum, which remains in force today, directing contractors to use "Indian students are eligible for benefits of a JOM Contract if they are of ¼ or more degree of Indian blood or are recognized by the Secretary as being eligible for Bureau services."; and
BE IT RESOLVED: The National Johnson-O'Malley Association will support efforts to update 25 CFR 273.12 that clarify program guidance and Regulations as assigned by the Johnson-O'Malley Supplemental Education Modernization Act (P.L. 115-404); and
WHEREAS: The undercounting does a serious disservice to AIAN students and the programs designed to help them succeed.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED: The National Johnson-O'Malley Association membership fully supports the definition of Eligible Student to be codified in 25 CFR 273.12 that defines an eligible student as one who is enrolled in a Federally Recognized Tribe, or can show or prove descendancy or lineage from an eligible individual and/or a Certified Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) card.
