Indian education formula grants to leas

Sequoyah Public School received a Formula Grant award of $105,885 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). The award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, supports comprehensive educational programs specifically designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students in Claremore, Oklahoma.

The funding enables Sequoyah Public School to deliver culturally responsive academic instruction in core subject areas, implement cultural programming that preserves Native heritage, provide targeted student support services, and conduct professional development for educators. These initiatives are designed to help Native American students meet challenging state academic standards while maintaining connection to their cultural identity. The school's use of these funds is limited to no more than 5% for administrative costs, with the remainder directed toward direct educational services and support programs that address the specific needs of the Native student population served.
