The program funds activities addressing the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students, ensuring they meet challenging state performance standards while gaining knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The award also supports professional development for teachers, principals, and school staff serving Indian students to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction.

The district qualifies as an eligible LEA under the program's enrollment requirements and has received annual Indian Education Formula Grants in this range for multiple years. Formula grants under this program are issued annually directly to applicants meeting statutory requirements and are awarded for up to 12 months, with funds to be spent or obligated within the project period.
