Catoosa Public School District received a Formula Grant award of $147,218 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. The district will use these funds to deliver comprehensive educational programs specifically designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in Catoosa Public Schools.

The grant supports a range of services and programming for Native American students, including academic instruction aligned with state performance standards, cultural programming that preserves tribal heritage, professional development for teachers, and targeted student support services. The program emphasizes helping AIAN students achieve proficiency in reading and mathematics while maintaining culturally responsive educational practices. As a recurring recipient of this formula grant since 2021, Catoosa Public School District has demonstrated ongoing commitment to serving its significant AIAN student population in Catoosa, Oklahoma.
