Indian education formula grants to leas

The Gallup-McKinley County School District NO. 1 received a Formula Grant award of $2,062,650 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 specifically designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students in the Gallup, New Mexico school district.

The funded activities encompass academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students across elementary and secondary educational settings. The grant enables the district to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic performance standards while preserving their cultural heritage. As a recipient of substantial annual Indian Education Formula Grants, the district utilizes these funds to deliver K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, career and technical education, and technology integration. The grant requires the district to maintain records for three years following project completion and to limit administrative costs to 5% of total funding, with performance accountability focused on student achievement in reading and math, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive educational activities.
