Indian education formula grants to leas

Morris School District 3 in Morris, Oklahoma received $104,724 in formula grant funding 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 services designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funded activities support a range of educational initiatives including academic instruction in core subjects, culturally responsive programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. These services are delivered to the district's K-12 student population, which includes a significant proportion of American Indian and Alaska Native learners. The grant funding aligns with the broader program objective of ensuring that AIAN students meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage. Administrative costs are limited to 5% of the award, with performance measures focused on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and the quality of culturally responsive educational activities.
