The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Highline Public Schools $107,863.00 under the Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) on July 1, 2026. The award funds educational programs and services addressing the unique needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in the district, located in Burien, Washington. The performance period runs through June 30, 2027. The program supports culturally appropriate instruction that enables Indian students to meet state performance standards, ensures students gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures, and builds the capacity of teachers, principals, school leaders, and staff serving Indian students to deliver effective culturally appropriate instruction. Formula grants under this program are awarded annually to eligible LEAs that meet statutory requirements and design projects aligned with program goals.
