Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $207,470 to Tempe Union High School District No 213 on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The award funds activities addressing the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian students, ensuring these students meet challenging state performance standards and gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The funding also supports professional development for teachers, principals, and school leaders to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students.

Tempe Union High School District No 213, a local government entity serving the Tempe area in Guadalupe, Arizona, is the recipient. The district enrolls American Indian students across its six high schools and meets the program's eligibility criteria for LEAs serving Indian children.

The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with place of performance in Tempe, Arizona. This is a formula grant, with funds obligated within the 12-month project period. The district receives this funding as part of a broader portfolio of federal and state education grants, including Title I, Title II, and Title III programs, which support supplemental instruction, professional development, and English language acquisition services.
