Office of Indian Education

Welcome to the Office of Indian Education

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Office of Indian Education is dedicated to improving the academic success of American Indian students across the state. We collaborate with schools, districts, tribal communities, and state agencies to align policies, initiatives, and resources that support the unique educational needs of American Indian students. Through research, advocacy, and strategic partnerships, we work to elevate student achievement, foster meaningful collaboration, and ensure that the voices of American Indian communities are reflected in education policy and practice.

Indian Education Formula Grants (Title VI)

The U.S. Department of Education programs funds the Indian Education Formula Grant (Title VI). It supports the efforts of school districts, Indian tribes and organizations, postsecondary institutions, and other groups to meet the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. These efforts help them meet the same challenging state academic standards as all other students.
