Indian education formula grants to leas

The Los Lunas School District received $107,024 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 services specifically 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, professional development for educators, and targeted student support services that enable AIAN students to meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. The Los Lunas School District, a local educational agency (LEA) serving the Los Lunas, New Mexico area, will utilize these funds to deliver K-12 educational programming that supports diverse student populations, consistent with program requirements limiting administrative costs to 5% and mandating consultation with Indian Parent Committees.
