Johnson -O'Malley Program

This program, which was created by an act of Congress in 1934, provides supplementary financial assistance to meet the unique and specialized education needs of Indian Children. Table Bluff Reservation - Wiyot Tribe contracts with BIZ for funds. With these funds a number of programs are presented for students in our JOM service area. These programs are designed to provide reinforcement of academic skills learned through the school district and enhance the students' educational experience. Parents are encouraged to participate in the JOM Parents Committee, which provides direction to the program.



Higher Education

Table Bluff Reservation - Wiyot Tribe administers funds on behalf of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Assistance, limited by student need and fund availability, is provided for students attending accredited institutions of higher learning or technical/vocational schools.
