Indian education formula grants to leas

Coweta Public Schools (Mission Intermediate Grade Center) received a Formula Grant award of $253,103.00 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 of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This award supports comprehensive educational programs specifically designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, professional development for educators, and targeted support services to help AIAN students meet state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a school district in Oklahoma with a significant Native American student population, Coweta Public Schools utilizes these formula grant funds to deliver culturally responsive educational experiences and evidence-based interventions focused on improving student achievement in reading and mathematics, while maintaining compliance with the program requirement that no more than 5% of grant funds be allocated to administrative costs.
