Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $210,261 to Sallisaw School District No. 1 on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The district will use formula grant funding 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 support teachers and school leaders in providing culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students. The award funds activities through June 30, 2027, and covers services delivered in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.

This is an annual formula grant made directly to an eligible local educational agency. Sallisaw School District No. 1, a recipient of Indian Education Formula Grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education since at least 2021, meets the statutory requirements for participation in the program. The district is not required to maintain separate audit documentation for this award, as the obligated amount falls below the $750,000 threshold triggering federal single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.
