Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Extra Year of NACTEP Funding
The Department proposes to let 36 Native American Career and Technical Education (NACTEP) projects (ALN 84.101A) receive an extra budget period of funding through September 2027. The waiver would allow continuation awards up to each project's Year 5 planned amount (estimated continuation awards listed per grantee range about $30,000 to $699,465) and would waive 34 CFR 75.250 and parts of 34 CFR 75.261 so additional Federal funds may be obligated for that extra period.
Continuity of CTE Services for Native Students
Extending the 36 NACTEP grants through September 2027 would keep career and technical education services running for Native American students without interruption. The Department says the extension would maximize continuity of services and allow grantees to request FY 2026 continuation funding if they certify capacity and meet continuation criteria.
