Indian education formula grants to leas

Moore Independent School District received $685,700 in funding through the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The award period runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. This formula grant supports comprehensive educational initiatives designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district, enabling these students to meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving cultural heritage.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services specifically for Native American students in the district's K-12 educational settings. Moore Independent School District, located in Oklahoma City, is particularly well-positioned to receive this funding given Oklahoma's significant Native American population and the district's demonstrated commitment to serving federally connected and Native American students. The district must maintain records for three years following completion of grant-funded activities and is subject to federal audit requirements under 2 CFR 200 should annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
