Indian education formula grants to leas

Winslow Unified School District 1 received a $267,035 Formula Grant award 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 services designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Winslow, Arizona area.

The grant funds support a range of educational activities including academic instruction, cultural programming and heritage preservation, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in K-12 settings. These initiatives are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while maintaining cultural identity. The district, which has a demonstrated history of serving Native American student populations and managing multiple federal education grants, is required to maintain records for three years post-completion and limit administrative costs to 5% of the award amount, with performance measures focused on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive programming.
