The Impact Aid Program, authorized by
Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as
amended, provides financial assistance to Local Educational
Agencies (LEA) whose enrollment or revenues are adversely affected
by Federal activities. The ESEA, as amended, authorized a
Discretionary Construction Grant program under Section 8007(b). The
Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Program provides grants to
eligible Impact Aid school districts for emergency repairs and
modernization of school facilitates. The eligible Impact Aid school
districts have a limited ability to raise revenues for capital
improvements because they have large areas of Federal land within
their boundaries. As a result, these districts find it difficult to
respond when their school facilities are in need of emergency
repairs or modernization; the Impact Aid Discretionary Construction
Program assists these LEAs.
