The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Lawrence County Board of Education $194,678 in Indian Education Formula Grant funding on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

Lawrence County School District, serving Moulton, Alabama, operates as a local educational agency eligible under the program because it enrolls Indian children meeting statutory enrollment thresholds. The funding obligated is $194,678 for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with place of performance at Moulton, Alabama. Formula grants under this program are issued annually to applicants meeting statutory requirements and designed projects addressing Indian student needs.
