Indian education formula grants to leas

The Catoosa Public School District was awarded a $135,990 Indian Education Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) program. This annual formula grant addresses the unique educational and cultural needs of American Indian students attending schools within the Catoosa district to help them meet academic achievement standards. Specifically, the funding ensures that Indian students gain knowledge of their heritage and languages, which supports higher educational outcomes. Additionally, Catoosa Public Schools has received several federal education sub-awards from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, including grants focused on providing nutritionally adequate student meals, supporting English learners, improving teacher quality, vocational education, and responding to COVID-19. These sub-awards have enabled the district to deliver a range of services and programming benefiting their student population.
