Indian education formula grants to leas

Eugene School District 4J received a Formula Grant award of $164,948 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 (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The funded activities include academic instruction in core subjects, culturally responsive programming, professional development for educators, and targeted support services for Native American students. These initiatives are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving cultural heritage and identity. The district is required to maintain administrative costs at no more than 5% of the award and measure program outcomes through student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and the quality of culturally responsive activities delivered to the student population.
