Indian education formula grants to leas

Eagle Butte School District 20-1 received $219,201 in 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 formula grant supports comprehensive educational services designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district.

The funding enables Eagle Butte School District 20-1 to deliver culturally relevant curriculum, academic instruction in core subjects, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in its K-12 educational programs. These grant-funded activities are designed to help students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage, with emphasis on improving student achievement in reading and math, graduation rates, and engagement in culturally responsive activities. The district is required to maintain records for three years following the completion of grant-funded activities and must limit administrative costs to 5% of the award.
