Indian education formula grants to leas

Lincoln County School District received a formula grant award of $118,497 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 programming designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funding enables Lincoln County School District to deliver culturally relevant educational services that help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. Typical funded activities include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. The district, which serves approximately 5,200 students in Newport, Oregon, maintains administrative costs at or below the federally mandated 5% cap and is required to measure performance based on student achievement in reading and math, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities.
