Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $281,899 to Independent School District #9 Tulsa County Oklahoma (Union School District) on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The award funds academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for American Indian and Alaska Native students. Performance is in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a period of performance from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The program addresses the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students to enable them to meet state performance standards, ensures Indian students gain knowledge of Native communities and tribal histories and cultures, and supports teachers and school leaders in providing culturally appropriate and effective instruction. Grants are awarded annually to local educational agencies that meet statutory requirements, including enrollment thresholds of at least 10 Indian children or Indian student populations constituting at least 25 percent of total enrollment; these thresholds do not apply to eligible LEAs in Oklahoma.
