Indian education formula grants to leas

The Lac Du Flambeau School District received a Formula Grant award of $119,967 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 designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students in the district's K-12 schools.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students. These services are delivered through Lac Du Flambeau Elementary School and related educational services on the Lac Du Flambeau reservation in Wisconsin, with a specific focus on helping American Indian students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. The program requires the district to maintain culturally responsive programming and limits administrative costs to 5 percent of the grant award, ensuring the majority of resources directly support student educational and cultural initiatives.
