The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $127,801 to Grand Coulee Dam School District No 301J 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 state performance standards while gaining knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The district also receives support to ensure teachers, principals, and school staff serving Indian students can provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction. The grant period runs through June 30, 2027, with performance at Coulee Dam, Washington. This is a formula grant issued directly to an eligible local educational agency. As a school district in a region with substantial Native American enrollment, Grand Coulee Dam qualifies under the program's eligibility criteria and receives annual awards to support comprehensive K-12 educational services with particular emphasis on American Indian and Alaska Native student populations.
