The Education Department has issued a final waiver allowing 21 Native Hawaiian Education projects to extend their project periods for up to one additional 12-month period, with funding, and no later than September 30, 2027. The action was published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2026, and took effect the same day.
Scope of the final action
The waiver applies to projects under Assistance Listing Number 84.362A, authorized under Title VI, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended. The department described the document as a final waiver and extension of the project period with funding.
Under the terms, each covered project may receive funding for up to one additional 12-month period. The extension cannot run beyond September 30, 2027. The department's action waives requirements in the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) that generally prohibit project period extensions involving the obligation of additional federal funds, according to the Federal Register.
