DELAWARE TRIBE OF INDIANS’ STATEMENT ON DAYCARE CLOSURES
For Immediate Release
March 29, 2022
Bartlesville, Oklahoma – The Delaware Tribe of Indians has been informed that the Washington County Child Care Foundation has decided to close its doors on March 31, 2022. Unfortunately, the Foundation is placing blame partly on the Tribe, but this is not true. At no time would the Tribe take any action that would purposefully cause needless disruption on the lives of children and families who rely on the important daycare services provided by the Foundation.
While it is true that the Tribe and the Foundation are trying to resolve a dispute so that the Foundation can be reimbursed for services, the Tribe finds it regrettable that the Foundation would abruptly shut down and blame the Tribe instead of focusing on resolving the dispute in a timely manner for everyone’s benefit.
