Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $310,508 to Tuba City Unified School District #15 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, ensuring they 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 staff serving Indian students to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction. Performance occurs in Tuba City, Arizona, within the Navajo Nation, where the school district serves a predominantly Native American student population. The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This is a formula grant distributed directly to the LEA as an annual award to all applicants meeting statutory requirements. Funds must be spent or obligated within the project period.
