The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $119,433 Indian Education Formula Grant (CFDA 84.060) to the ST John School Dist 3 in St. John, North Dakota. This one-year grant, covering the period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, will support the district's comprehensive educational programs for American Indian and Alaska Native students. The grant funding will be used to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of the Native American student population, helping them meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. Typical services funded through this program include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services designed to improve educational outcomes for Indian students. In addition to this direct federal grant, ST John School Dist 3 has also been a sub-recipient of numerous federal grant awards from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, covering initiatives such as Title I, Title II, Title IV, ESSER, Comprehensive Literacy, and STEM programs. These sub-awards have enabled the district to provide a wide range of academic support, professional development, student enrichment, and pandemic-related educational recovery services for its diverse student population.
