Indian education formula grants to leas

Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District received $269,763 in federal funding through the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The award, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, supports comprehensive educational services designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the district's service area in Hoopa, California.

The funded activities include academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for AIAN elementary and secondary students. These services are designed to help Native American students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a formula grant recipient, the district must limit administrative costs to 5% of the award and maintain performance measures focused on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities.
