Purpose:

The purpose of the program is to strengthen the district’s instructional program and improve the academic achievement and self-concept of American Indian students in California’s schools. The goal will be achieved through the development and testing of unique education projects designed to increase student competence and encourage participation of American Indian parents, families and the community in the design and implementation of the program.

This grant program provides funding for local educational agencies (LEAs) with a concentration of at least 10 percent AI students in preschool through grade four.
