Indian education formula grants to leas

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pryor Public Schools a Formula Grant of $306,278.00 under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This funding supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Pryor, Oklahoma school district.

The grant funds educational services and support programs tailored specifically for Native American students, including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. These initiatives enable AIAN students to meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a local educational agency serving a significant population of American Indian students, Pryor Public Schools leverages this federal funding as part of a broader portfolio of grants that also includes special education support, nutritional programs, and mental health services to deliver holistic educational support across academic, cultural, and student welfare domains.
