The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $125,366 to Latta Public Schools on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060). The award funds educational services addressing the unique needs of Indian students, including instruction in Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and professional development for teachers and school leaders serving Indian students. Latta Public Schools, a local educational agency in Ada, Oklahoma serving kindergarten through twelfth grade, operates through the period of performance ending June 30, 2027. The formula grant is the Department's principal vehicle for supporting Indian children in meeting state performance standards while gaining knowledge of Native heritage. Awards under this program are issued annually to eligible applicants meeting statutory requirements and are spent or obligated within the project period.
