The Coeur D'Alene Tribe received a $450,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education—Special Programs for Indian Children program (CFDA 84.299) for the project titled "Braiding Relationships to Improve Coeur d'Alene Student Success." The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supports demonstration and educational initiatives designed to improve academic outcomes and educational opportunities for Native American students within the Coeur d'Alene Tribal community. The project will be performed in Plummer, Idaho, the location of the tribe's primary reservation.

This grant funding supports the tribe's efforts to develop and implement innovative educational services and programs that strengthen student success through culturally responsive approaches that integrate tribal relationships and community-based learning. The award aligns with the federal program's focus on demonstrating effective educational interventions and supporting professional development initiatives that enhance teaching quality and student achievement in Native American educational contexts. As with all awards under this program, the tribe is subject to standard federal compliance requirements, performance monitoring, and a three-year record retention obligation following grant completion.
