At its regular meeting on August 5, 2008, the Peoria Tribal Business Committee took action to modify the 2009 Tribal Budget to add a line item under Education for a school supplies reimbursement program.  To fund the program, funds were reallocated from the Tribal Enterprise account to the Education account.  Tribal Enterprise funds are income from farming and land leases.  The purpose of this program is to assist families with expenses of getting children back to school. 

The program is designed to provide reimbursement of expenses for school supplies and clothing for enrolled tribal members attending grades K through 12.  A full description of the Program and its guidelines is enclosed for your information as well as an application.

Please note there is a deadline of December 31, 2008, for submission of applications in accordance with the Guidelines.  Only one application will be accepted per child for reimbursement up to a maximum of $50.

Mandie Ferguson, Education Director, will be responsible for administration of this program.  

Construction has started at the Buffalo Casino & Resort.
Look forward to weekly updated pictures until finished.
