Indian education formula grants to leas

Fremont County School District #1 received a Formula Grant award of $102,361 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This award supports comprehensive educational services designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the district's elementary and secondary schools located in Lander, Wyoming.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services specifically for Native American students. These initiatives are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. The district's use of this and complementary sub-grant funding from the Wyoming Department of Education demonstrates a comprehensive approach addressing academic achievement, nutrition support, special education services, and extended learning opportunities for its student population.
