American Indian Early Childhood Education 2023–24

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. The AIECE grant program was established to improve and support the cultural and linguistic responsiveness of the educational opportunities of young American Indian (AI) children across the California education system. 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. Currently the AIECE grant provides funding for only 12 LEAs in California for FY 2023–24. Those activities include: after school curricular tutoring activities, cultural awareness projects, culturally appropriate books, supplies, and other educational materials. Eligible Applicants: Local educational agencies that serve a minimum of 10 percent American Indian students at a school site.
