Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $116,528 to Warner School District I 74 on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060). Warner Public School, the operating division, performs the work at Warner, Oklahoma 74469. The award period runs through June 30, 2027.

This formula grant funds addressing the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students to enable them to meet state performance standards, ensures Indian students gain knowledge and understanding of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and supports teachers, principals, and staff serving Indian students in providing culturally appropriate and effective instruction. The Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program is the Department's principal vehicle for addressing the particular needs of Indian children. Warner School District I 74, situated within the Cherokee Nation and serving approximately 850 K-12 students, is eligible to participate because it is located in Oklahoma, a jurisdiction where the standard eligibility requirement (enrollment of at least 10 Indian children or at least 25 percent Indian student enrollment) does not apply.
