Dallas Independent School District received $131,660 in formula grant funding 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 programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

Under this award, Dallas ISD delivers educational services and programming that enable AIAN students to meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. Funded activities include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in elementary and secondary settings. The district is required to consult with Indian Parent Committees and limit administrative costs to 5% of the grant award, with performance measures focused on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities.
