Indian education formula grants to leas

Federal Way School District received $122,324 in formula grant 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. The grant supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students served by the district.

The funded activities encompass culturally-related academic programs, tribal language instruction, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for Native American students. These services are designed to help AIAN students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage and facilitating academic and career transitions. The district is required to maintain appropriate administrative controls, limit administrative costs to no more than 5 percent of the award, and maintain records for three years following the completion of funded activities.
