Indian education formula grants to leas

Marysville Joint Unified School District received a Formula Grant award of $319,792 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), effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This funding supports comprehensive educational initiatives designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district.

The grant funds educational programs including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services that enable American Indian and Alaska Native students to meet state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a local educational agency serving a significant population of Native American students in Marysville, California, the district must allocate no more than 5% of grant funds to administrative costs and maintain performance accountability measures focused on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities. Grant records must be maintained for three years following the completion of funded activities in accordance with federal audit and compliance requirements.
