Indian education formula grants to leas

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $164,174 Indian Education Formula Grant to the Fargo Public Schools under CFDA 84.060, the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program. This one-year award, running from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, will support the school district's efforts to address the unique educational and cultural needs of its American Indian and Alaska Native student population. Funded services are expected to include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services to help these students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a local educational agency, the Fargo Public Schools has a history of receiving both prime and sub-awards under this federal grant program to deliver comprehensive educational services to its diverse student body, including those from Native American and immigrant backgrounds.
