Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $248,639 to ADA City Schools under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program on July 1, 2026, for the period ending June 30, 2027.

ADA City Schools, a local government school district in Ada, Oklahoma, 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 provide teachers and school leaders with the ability to deliver culturally appropriate and effective instruction. The district has a notable focus on supporting Native American students and uses Indian Education Formula Grants to deliver academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, special education support, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration.

The assistance type is a formula grant. Awards under this program are issued annually to all applicants meeting statutory requirements and are made for up to twelve months, with funds to be spent or obligated within the project period.
