DEED is issuing a Request for Applications (RFA) for State Tribal Education Compacting Demonstration Tribal Partners grants. We are seeking a variety of applications based on geographic representation, variety of educational methodologies, representation of different size schools, and communities, and overall statewide representation. The intent is to have a demonstration project that shows how State-Tribal Education Compact schools can work across all of Alaska. The goal of the demonstration phase is to lead to a more permanent widely available education compacting process.
In addition, this RFA will ask potential subgrantees to provide Tribal partnership with the Alaska State Board of Education and Early Development (SBOE) to support the development of a report to the Alaska Legislature for what is needed legislatively to create State Tribal Education Compacts. It is part of the implementation of Senate Bill 34 (SB 34).
The purpose of this program is to provide support for Tribal partners to work with the SBOE on the negotiation, consultation, and co-development of a legislative report on what is necessary for creating the opportunity enacted through statute and regulations to provide for future State Tribal Education Compact schools.
Applications are due December 30, 2022.
