The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $188,597 to Yakima County School District #202 (Toppenish School District #202) on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The district uses Indian Education Formula Grant funding to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students, ensure that Indian students gain knowledge and understanding of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and provide teachers, principals, and staff who serve Indian students with the ability to deliver culturally appropriate and effective instruction. The award covers the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with performance at the Toppenish, Washington location. The assistance type is a formula grant made directly to the LEA. The district qualifies as an eligible recipient under the program because it enrolls Indian children representing a significant portion of total enrollment.
