The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $120,011 to San Pasqual Valley Unified School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060). The award funds culturally responsive instruction and academic support for Indian students, teacher professional development in culturally appropriate pedagogy, and programming to build student knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. San Pasqual Valley Unified School District, a rural local educational agency in Winterhaven, California, serves a significant Native American student population and is eligible for this program. The period of performance runs through June 30, 2027. The formula grant is designed to ensure Indian students meet state performance standards while gaining understanding of their cultural heritage and that educators serving Indian students develop competency in culturally appropriate instruction.
