Indian education formula grants to leas

Mahnomen Public School received $121,120 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 programming designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Mahnomen, Minnesota school district.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in elementary and secondary settings. The school district will utilize these funds to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a local educational agency with significant Native American enrollment, Mahnomen Public School is required to maintain project records for three years following grant completion and must limit administrative costs to 5% of the award amount, consistent with program requirements.
