Purpose of Program: The Office of Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (Formula Grants) program provides grants to support local educational agencies (LEAs), Indian Tribes and organizations, and other eligible entities in developing and implementing elementary and secondary school programs that serve Indian students. These funds must be used to support comprehensive programs that are designed to meet the unique cultural, language, and educational needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students and ensure that all students meet challenging State academic standards. The information gathered from the project's final annual performance report (APR) will be utilized to complete OIE's required annual Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) report. Specifically, that report covers the Secretary's established key performance measures for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Formula Grants program as detailed in this notice.
