An expansion of the Chee Dodge Elementary School in New Mexico has been put on hold due to the discovery of Indian remains and artifacts.

School officials are waiting for a report from the Navajo Nation Preservation Department. They say changes to the $2.5 million project could raise costs.

Two Navajo families are pulling their children out of the school because of the discovery. Navajo medicine men have conducted ceremonies but some aren't assuaged.
