Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $162,824 to El Dorado County Office of Education 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 academic and culturally related needs of Indian students enrolled in El Dorado County schools, ensuring these students meet state performance standards and gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The program also supports teacher and school leader capacity to deliver culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students.

Performance period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with work performed in Placerville, California. This is a formula grant distributed to local educational agencies meeting statutory enrollment or proximity thresholds. El Dorado County Office of Education qualifies as an eligible recipient; the county is not subject to the standard 10-Indian-student or 25-percent-enrollment threshold because California is exempt under program eligibility rules.
