The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $148,413 Indian Education Formula Grant to the Bishop Unified School District in Bishop, CA for the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. This grant funding is provided under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) to address the unique educational and cultural needs of Indian students so they can meet challenging state academic standards.

The Bishop Unified School District will use the grant funds to deliver educational services focused on improving academic achievement and cultural knowledge retention for American Indian/Alaska Native students in the local school district. The district has partnered with the Inyo County Office of Education, a sub-awardee, to coordinate and provide these services to public school students in the region.
