The purpose of the Title VI Indian Education Formula Grant is to fulfill the Federal Government’s unique and continuing trust relationship with and responsibility to the American Indian/Alaska Natives for the educational needs of American Indian children. The Federal Government will continue to work with local educational agencies (Sacramento City Unified School District) toward the goal of ensuring programs that serve American Indian children are of the highest quality and provide for not only the basic elementary and secondary educational needs, but also the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of these children.
