Indian education formula grants to leas

Collinsville Public School District 1-6 received a formula grant award of $218,504 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 funding supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district.

The grant funds support a range of educational services and programming for Native American students, including academic instruction in core subjects, cultural programming that preserves heritage and promotes cultural identity, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. These activities are designed to help Native American students meet challenging state academic performance standards while maintaining their cultural connections. The district must maintain records of grant expenditures for three years following the completion of funded activities and limit administrative costs to no more than 5 percent of the total award.
