Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $1,084,185 to Central Consolidated School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies formula program (CFDA 84.060).

Central Consolidated School District, located in Shiprock, New Mexico, serves a predominantly Native American student population. The award supports educational initiatives addressing the unique cultural, academic, and linguistically related needs of Indian students, enabling them to meet challenging state academic standards while gaining knowledge of Native communities, languages, tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The program also builds the capacity of teachers, principals, school leaders, and staff to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students.

The performance period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The full obligated amount of $1,084,185 is subject to audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F, given the amount exceeds the $750,000 audit threshold. Grant funds must be spent or obligated within the project period, with records maintained for three years after activity completion.
