Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $115,420 to the Dillingham City School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The district, operating as the Dillingham Correspondence School and serving a predominantly Alaska Native student population in rural Dillingham, Alaska, uses the 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 provide teachers and school leaders with the ability to deliver culturally appropriate and effective instruction. Performance extends through June 30, 2027. The program funds culturally responsive academic instruction, teacher professional development, and student support services tailored to American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district's schools.
