The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $53,064,375 to the Bureau of Indian Education on July 1, 2026, under Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010), a formula grant program designed to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools serving children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging State academic standards.

The Bureau of Indian Education operates a network of 183 elementary and secondary schools across 23 states serving Native American students. The funding supports educational services, including specialized instruction, assistive technologies, developmental screenings, individualized education plans, and professional development for educators. The award carries a period of performance through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Washington, DC 20240.

The grant flows through the Department of Education to State Educational Agencies and then to Local Educational Agencies and Indian tribal schools as subgrantees. Schools may implement either schoolwide programs serving all children or targeted assistance programs serving children failing or most at risk of failing to meet State academic standards. Recipients must maintain program records for three years and are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements if they expend $750,000 or more in Federal awards annually.
