Indian education formula grants to leas

The Elko County School District received a $102,634 Formula Grant award 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 services designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students throughout the district's elementary and secondary schools. These initiatives are designed to help AIAN students meet state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. The district is required to maintain Indian Parent Committee consultation, limit administrative costs to 5% of the award, and measure performance through student achievement metrics in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive programming activities.
