TITLE 20--EDUCATION
CHAPTER 70--STRENGTHENING AND IMPROVEMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY
SCHOOLS
SUBCHAPTER VIII--IMPACT AID
Sec. 7701. Purpose
In order to fulfill the Federal responsibility to assist with the
provision of educational services to federally connected children in a
manner that promotes control by local educational agencies with little
or no Federal or State involvement, because certain activities of the
Federal Government, such as activities to fulfill the responsibilities
of the Federal Government with respect to Indian tribes and activities
under section 574 of title 50, Appendix, place a financial burden on the
local educational agencies serving areas where such activities are
carried out, and to help such children meet challenging State standards,
it is the purpose of this subchapter to provide financial assistance to
local educational agencies that--
(1) experience a substantial and continuing financial burden due
to the acquisition of real property by the United States;
(2) educate children who reside on Federal property and whose
parents are employed on Federal property;
(3) educate children of parents who are in the military services
and children who live in low-rent housing;
(4) educate heavy concentrations of children whose parents are
civilian employees of the Federal Government and do not reside on
Federal property; or
(5) need special assistance with capital expenditures for
construction activities because of the enrollments of substantial
numbers of children who reside on Federal lands and because of the
difficulty of raising local revenue through bond referendums for
capital projects due to the inability to tax Federal property.
