Indian education formula grants to leas

Anadarko School District I-20 received $241,725.00 under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), administered by the Department of Education's 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, academic, and language needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the district's K-12 programs.

The funded activities encompass core academic instruction in reading and math, culturally-responsive programming that preserves Native American heritage, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. These initiatives are tailored to help the district's predominantly Native American student population (78% of enrollment) meet challenging state academic standards while maintaining cultural identity. The grant supports a range of educational services including academic instruction, student support, and culturally-relevant activities, with performance measures focused on student achievement, high school graduation rates, and the effectiveness of culturally responsive programming. Administrative costs are limited to 5% of the total award amount in accordance with program requirements.
