FY2028 CIP Reconsideration Hearing - Session 2

The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) has announced a series of virtual public hearings to address the reconsideration of FY2028 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) grant rankings. These hearings are held pursuant to AS 14.11.013(e) and 4 AAC 31.026(a) to allow school districts to challenge eligibility determinations, project priority rankings, project scope, approved budgets, or denials of local contribution waivers. Three virtual hearing sessions are scheduled: November 23, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.; November 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; and December 1, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. All hearings are open to the public, though participation is by appointment. School districts seeking reconsideration must submit a written request by 4:00 p.m. on December 1, 2026. The request must detail the specific objection, provide a summary of evidence regarding the alleged department error, and specify the relief sought. Written requests should be submitted via email to [email protected]. Individuals requiring special accommodations must contact the department at least five business days prior to their chosen hearing date.
