Indian education formula grants to leas

This federal Formula Grant award in the amount of $191,090 was provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to the Marion County Oregon District 24J, also known as the Salem-Keizer School District. The award is part of the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), which aims to address the unique educational and cultural needs of Indian students to help them meet challenging state performance standards.

As a subrecipient under this program, the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving educational institution, will deliver a range of services to over 42,000 students across 65 schools. These services include early education, K-12 programs, migrant education, literacy and language development, IDEA special education, and support for homeless youth. The district also provides services through child nutrition programs to increase access to fruits, vegetables, and nutritious meals for students. Through these comprehensive educational and student support services, the grant funding enables academic enrichment and success for the diverse student population served by the Salem-Keizer School District.
