Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $163,743 to Hoke County School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060). The recipient, represented operationally by West Hoke Middle School, is located in Raeford, North Carolina. Performance runs through June 30, 2027. The program funds culturally appropriate instruction addressing the unique educational needs of Indian students, ensures Indian students gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions and cultures, and builds capacity among teachers, principals, and school staff to deliver culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students. Awards under this formula grant program are issued annually to LEAs that meet statutory requirements and enroll at least 10 Indian children or in which Indians constitute at least 25 percent of total enrollment (except in Alaska, California, Oklahoma, or on or near Indian reservations).
