The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $1,315,286 Indian Education Formula Grant to the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) in Bethel, Alaska. The award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, will support comprehensive educational programs for American Indian and Alaska Native students under CFDA Program 84.060A, "Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies". The funding will enable LKSD, a local government entity serving 22 villages and 6 schools, to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of its Native student population. Typical activities supported by these formula grants include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services designed to improve educational outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native students. LKSD has consistently received similar federal grants, ranging from $103,389 to $1,558,000 annually, to support its mission of preparing students to become responsible, productive citizens while preserving their cultural heritage.
