Indian education formula grants to leas

San Pasqual Valley Unified School District received $121,312.00 in funding under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, supports comprehensive educational initiatives designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Winterhaven, California area.

The grant funding enables the district to deliver targeted educational services including academic instruction aligned with state performance standards, cultural programming that preserves Native American heritage, teacher professional development, and specialized student support services. These activities are designed to help AIAN students achieve proficiency in reading and mathematics while maintaining culturally responsive educational practices. As a formula grant award, funds are distributed directly to the school district based on eligibility criteria and enrollment of Native American students, supporting the district's ongoing mission to serve its rural community with a significant Native American student population.
