Indian education formula grants to leas

Massena Central School District received a Formula Grant award of $163,253 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), effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This funding 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 grant funds direct instructional services, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students. These activities are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. The award reflects the district's consistent participation in the Indian Education Formula Grant program, which annually funds local educational agencies that enroll significant numbers of Indian students and meet the program's statutory requirements.
