Indian education formula grants to leas

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Maryetta School District 22 a Formula Grant of $130,963.00 under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) for the period of 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 service area in Stilwell, Oklahoma.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students in elementary and secondary educational settings. Given the district's student population (82% American Indian), these services are designed to help students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. The grant funding supports services that align with the program's performance measures, which focus on student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities. Administrative costs are limited to 5% of the total award amount in accordance with program requirements.
