Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act

The "Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act" proposes significant amendments to Section 7014 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, aiming to advance toward full federal funding for Impact Aid programs. This legislation authorizes a substantial increase in appropriations across several key categories of Impact Aid for a six-year period, from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2031. Specifically, the bill outlines escalating funding levels for payments for Federal acquisition of real property , basic payments and those for heavily impacted local educational agencies , and payments for children with disabilities . Additionally, it provides for increased authorized appropriations dedicated to construction projects within these federally impacted school districts. These provisions are designed to provide more robust and consistent financial support to school districts that educate children residing on federal lands or whose parents work on federal property.
