The Northwest Arctic Borough School District was awarded a $1,186,243 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Alaska Native Educational Programs (CFDA 84.356) initiative. The grant supports the ILISAUTRI PROJECT, which aims to address the unique educational needs of Alaska Native students in the district's 11 remote villages. Key activities to be delivered through the one-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, include curriculum development, teacher training, cultural enrichment, and programs to improve academic achievement, high school graduation rates, and college/career readiness for the predominantly Native American and Alaska Native student population. The grant emphasizes integrating Alaska Native languages, cultures, and traditional knowledge into the educational system to provide culturally responsive programming that supports the specific learning needs of this community.
