Indian education formula grants to leas

Casa Grande Union High School District received $113,084 in 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 award period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This formula grant supports comprehensive educational programs specifically designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students enrolled in the district.

The grant funds a range of educational services and programs including academic instruction tailored to AIAN students, cultural programming that preserves Native American heritage, professional development for teachers, and targeted student support services. These initiatives are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while maintaining cultural identity. The district's services under this award are delivered in its secondary education settings located in Casa Grande, Arizona, with the expectation that performance will be measured through student achievement metrics in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and the implementation of culturally responsive educational activities.
