Indian education formula grants to leas

Tulsa Public Schools District 1 received a $666,659 formula grant 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 programs and services specifically designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students within the district's 78 schools and charter partners serving 33,211 students.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in elementary and secondary educational settings. The grant enables Tulsa Public Schools to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a recipient in Oklahoma—a state with significant Native American populations and special eligibility provisions under the program—the district continues its consistent pattern of receiving annual Indian Education Formula Grants to strengthen educational outcomes and culturally responsive services for its diverse student population, including students speaking 76 different languages.
