Indian education formula grants to leas

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) received a Formula Grant award of $112,483.00 from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), effective 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 enrolled in LAUSD schools, enabling these students to meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage.

Under this award, LAUSD delivers targeted educational services and programming to Native American students, which typically include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and student support services. The district is required to maintain compliance with federal requirements, including limiting administrative costs to 5% of the grant award, consulting with Indian Parent Committees, and measuring performance through student achievement metrics in reading and math, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive activities. Records related to grant-funded activities must be maintained for three years following the completion date of the award period.
