The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $672,650 to Moore Independent School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The award funds academic instruction, cultural programming, and targeted services for Native American students within the district's K–12 system. Moore Independent School District, a local government entity serving the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, operates under the business name Moore School Food Service and has a demonstrated track record of federal funding support for Native American and federally connected student populations.

The program addresses the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students to enable them to meet challenging state performance standards, ensures Indian students gain knowledge and understanding of Native communities and Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and builds the capacity of teachers, principals, school leaders, and staff to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction.
