Indian education formula grants to leas

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded an Indian Education Formula Grant of $107,530.00 to the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe School in Hayward, Wisconsin. This one-year grant (July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025) under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) will support comprehensive educational programs tailored to the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of the school's American Indian student population. The funding will enable the Ojibwe School to provide academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services designed to help Native American students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. This Formula Grant is part of a broader portfolio of federal grants the school has received, including a $350,207 Project Grant for the Ogikendamaawin Anishinaabe Project, which aims to maintain and revitalize the Ojibwe language, promote tribal educational autonomy, and improve academic outcomes.
