Due to funding cuts, the program will be reduced to ten demonstration classrooms in northeastern Oklahoma. Ten Cherokee bilingual aides will be hired, and ten Cherokee trainees will enroll in a teacher certification program. The program will focus on kindergarten through third grade and will prioritize bilingual-bicultural education. The program director, Agnes Cowen, has provided details of the revised program in a letter to various officials.
