Indian education formula grants to leas

Sacaton Elementary School District received $120,282.00 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 served by the district.

The grant funding supports a range of educational services and programming for Native American students, including academic instruction, cultural programming aligned with heritage preservation, teacher professional development, targeted student support services, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, and technology integration. These services are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while maintaining their cultural identity. Sacaton Elementary School District, which serves a significant Native American population in Sacaton, Arizona, has consistently received federal support through this formula grant program to deliver these culturally responsive educational services to its K-12 student body.
