Advancing Impact Aid Full Funding

Summary#

This measure amends section 7014 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It replaces subsections (a) through (d) and sets specific authorized appropriation amounts for fiscal years 2026 through 2031. The new amounts are grouped into four purposes: payments related to federal acquisition of real property (section 7002), basic payments and payments for heavily impacted local educational agencies (section 7003(b)), payments for children with disabilities (section 7003(d)), and construction to carry out section 7007.

What it means for you#

If enacted, the text authorizes Congress to appropriate the listed amounts each year for impact aid purposes from 2026 through 2031. Actual funding depends on future appropriation actions. The measure is currently introduced in the House and was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. Local school districts that receive impact aid would be eligible for funds under these categories if appropriations are made.
