The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $106,527 to Los Angeles Unified School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

LAUSD, doing business as The Los Angeles Trust for Children's Health, received this formula grant to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students, ensure these students gain knowledge and understanding of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and enable teachers, principals, and school staff serving Indian students to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction.

The award covers the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with place of performance in Los Angeles, California. The assistance type is a formula grant. Awards under this program are issued annually directly to eligible applicants that meet statutory requirements and design projects meeting the program's criteria. Eligible recipients include local educational agencies enrolling at least 10 Indian children or where Indians constitute at least 25 percent of total enrollment, with exceptions for LEAs in Alaska, California, and Oklahoma and those on or near Indian reservations. If an eligible LEA does not apply, an Indian tribe, Indian organization, or Indian community-based organization may apply in its stead.
