Formula Grant S060A250576

This $757,107 Indian Education Formula Grant to Farmington Municipal Schools, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (CFDA 84.060 - Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies), supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students.

The grant funding enables Farmington Municipal Schools, a local government school district in Farmington, New Mexico, to provide targeted services such as academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and student support services. These initiatives aim to help Native American students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. Additionally, the district has received sub-awards from the State of New Mexico Public Education Department, including Title I funding, 21st Century Community Learning Centers program support, and CARES Act ESSER funding, which have supplemented the federal grant by supporting after-school programs, academic enrichment, literacy and STEM skills development, and COVID-19 response efforts.
