Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wapato School District $234,030 under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) on July 1, 2026. The award funds educational services addressing the unique cultural, academic, and linguistic needs of Native American students in the district's K-12 enrollment, with a focus on ensuring these students meet challenging state performance standards, gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and receive culturally appropriate instruction from staff. Performance runs through June 30, 2027, at the district's location in Wapato, Washington. The program is a formula grant issued directly to the applicant as an annual award to LEAs meeting statutory requirements, including Wapato's enrollment of at least 10 Indian children or Indian representation of at least 25 percent of total enrollment. Funds must be spent or obligated within the project period.
