Indian education formula grants to leas

The Salmon River Central School District was awarded a $453,011 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The grant funding will support the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

The purpose of the grant is to address the unique educational and culturally-related academic needs of Indian students enrolled in the Salmon River Central School District in Fort Covington, New York. Specifically, the funding will be used to help ensure these students can meet state performance standards and gain knowledge about their Native American tribes and communities. The grant will also support services and activities designed to meet the culturally-related academic needs of Indian students so they have the opportunity to achieve at the same high levels as other students.
