Indian education formula grants to leas

The Annette Island School District received $100,683 in funding through the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) program, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This formula grant supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district's K-12 schools located in Metlakatla, Alaska.

The funded activities support a range of educational initiatives including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, English language learning services, special education, and targeted student support services. These programs are designed to help Native Alaskan students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. The grant funding enables the district to deliver culturally responsive educational services that address both the academic achievement and cultural preservation needs of its predominantly Native Alaskan student population.
