Indian education formula grants to leas

Seattle Public Schools received $152,322.00 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 award period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This award supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funding supports academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in elementary and secondary educational settings. These services are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a formula grant, the award was issued directly to the district based on the enrollment of eligible Indian students and the district's demonstrated ability to meet statutory program requirements, with administrative costs capped at 5% of total funding.
