Independent School District #152 (Moorhead Public Schools) received $117,748 in funding under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The award period runs from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This formula grant supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Moorhead, Minnesota school district.

The funded program delivers targeted academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and specialized student support services to help AIAN students meet state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. These services support K-12 educational delivery across elementary and secondary settings, with performance measures focused on student achievement in reading and math, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive activities. The grant requires the school district to maintain consultation with Indian Parent Committees and adhere to the 5% administrative cost limitation established under the program.
