expended, shall be for facilities maintenance 

under section 7008:

This language provides funds for the 

maintenance and repair of federally owned 

school facilities on a “no-year” basis because 

these activities typically require several years 

to initiate and complete.

5 Provided, That for purposes of computing 

the amount of a payment for an eligible local 

educational agency under section 7003(a) for 

school year [2022-2023] 2023-2024, children

described in section 7003(a)(1)(B)), are no 

longer eligible under such section, shall be 

considered as eligible students under such 

section, provided such students remain in 

average daily attendance at a school in the 

same local educational agency they attended 

prior to their change in eligibility status.

This language provides continued eligibility 

for students affected by the deployment or 

death of their military parent so long as the 

student attends school in the same local 

educational agency (LEA) they attended prior 

to the parent’s deployment or death.

Significant Items in FY 2023 Appropriations Reports

Item description

House: The reporting method used to calculate the amount of Impact Aid a school 

receives is critical to ensuring accurate data for eligible communities. Correct 

student counts ensure adequate resources are provided for students. The 

Committee repeats its request that the Department assess the merits of such 

flexibilities in future years, along with other potential process modifications, in the 

fiscal year 2024 Congressional Budget Justification. In addition, the Committee 

requests recommendations for helping LEAs plan for discrepancies between 

estimated and actual award levels.

Response: The previous flexibilities (Impact Aid Coronavirus Relief Act 

https://www.congress.gov/116/plaws/publ211/PLAW-116publ211.pdf and the 

Supplemental Impact Aid Flexibility Act 

https://www.congress.gov/117/plaws/publ83/PLAW-117publ83.pdf) were 

intended to provide support to LEAs that may have had difficulty obtaining 

accurate student data counts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For fiscal year 

2024 applications, local educational agencies conducted and submitted student 

data counts from the current school year, 2022-2023. These counts will be used 

to generate the LEA payments for the next school year (school year 2023-2024). 

The Department provides technical assistance to LEAs annually through a series 

of webinars such as How to Conduct an Impact Aid Survey and Understanding 

the 7003 Payment Formula. The goal of these trainings is to help LEAs better 

understand how payments are determined. In addition, each LEA is provided an 

estimated initial Basic Support payment and initial Children with Disabilities 

payment in the Impact Aid Grant System. The estimate is available as soon as 

the application is submitted. The fiscal year 2024 application closed on January 

31, 2023.

Summary of Request

The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal 

activities. The presence of certain children living on Federal property across the country can 

place a financial burden on the local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate them because 

such property is exempt from local property taxes, denying LEAs access to the primary source 

of revenue used by most communities to finance education. Impact Aid helps replace the lost 

local revenue that would otherwise be available to LEAs to pay for the education of these 

children.

The Administration requests $1.62 billion in fiscal year 2024 for Impact Aid programs, including:

• $1.5 billion for Basic Support Payments on behalf of federally connected children. These 

funds provide grants for both regular Basic Support Payments and Basic Support Payments 

for Heavily Impacted LEAs.

• $48.3 million for Payments for Children with Disabilities. These payments are made on 

behalf of federally connected children with disabilities in order to help eligible LEAs meet the 

mandate under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to provide a free appropriate 

public education to all children with disabilities.

• $4.8 million for Facilities Maintenance. The Department of Education owns and maintains 

six school facilities that originally were built to enable LEAs and the Department of Defense 

to educate federally connected students. The request would support Department of 

Education efforts to make emergency repairs to the remaining school buildings and continue 

the process of transferring these schools to LEAs.

• $18.4 million for Construction payments to LEAs, with appropriations language that would 

require all funds to be awarded competitively. LEAs generally pay for most of their school 

construction costs using local, as opposed to State and Federal, resources and rely on 

property taxes to finance these costs. Competitive grants assist federally affected LEAs that 

do not have access to those local resources in making emergency repairs and renovations 

and modernizing schools.

• $78.3 million for Payments for Federal Property. This authority provides payments to LEAs 

in which real property owned by the Federal Government generally represents 10 percent or 

more of the assessed value of real property in the LEA.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Impact Aid Basic Support Payments program is authorized under the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 

(NDAA). 

Impact Aid Basic Support Payments compensate local educational agencies (LEAs) for the 

expense of educating federally connected children. In communities across the country, the 

presence of Federal activities can both increase the number of students in local schools and 

decrease the local property tax base, which is the major source of revenue for education in most 

LEAs. Basic Support Payments go into the general funds of these LEAs, which use them for 

such expenses as teacher salaries, computers, curricular materials, regular and special 

instruction programs, and utilities.

The Impact Aid statute authorizes Basic Support Payments to LEAs on behalf of the following 

categories of federally connected students:

A. Students who live on Federal property with a parent employed on Federal property 

situated in whole or in part within the boundaries of the LEA, or with a parent who is a 

foreign military officer accredited by a foreign government;

B. Students who live on Federal property and who have a parent on active duty in the 

uniformed services of the United States;

C. Students who live on certain Indian lands;

D. Students who do not live on Federal property but who have a parent on active duty in the 

uniformed services of the United States, or a parent who is a foreign military officer 

accredited by a foreign government;

1 The GEPA extension expired September 30, 2021. Reauthorization for FY 2024 is expected through appropriations 

action.

E. Students who reside in a low-rent housing project assisted under the United States 

Housing Act of 1937;

F. Students who live on Federal property but otherwise do not fit into any of the categories 

described above; and

G. Students who do not reside on Federal property but who have a parent employed on 

Federal property situated in whole or in part in the same State as the LEA.

An LEA that claims students living on Indian lands under category (C) is required to consult with 

the parents and Tribes of these children and youth concerning their education and to ensure 

that these children and youth receive equal educational opportunities. The LEA must develop 

and file with the Department a set of Indian policies and procedures describing how it meets this 

requirement. Children and youth living on Indian lands receive a weight of 1.25 per student in 

the Basic Support Payments formula, higher than the weights assigned to other categories of 

federally connected children. These children and youth often are underserved and live in 

isolated rural areas, factors that can result in increased costs to the school districts that serve 

them.

The law authorizes two different types of Basic Support Payments: Regular Basic Support 

Payments and Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs.

Regular Basic Support Payments (section 7003(b)(1))

An LEA is eligible for Basic Support Payments only if the total number of eligible federally 

connected students described above is at least 400 in average daily attendance, or 3 percent of 

total average daily attendance. In order to receive payments on behalf of students in categories 

(F) and (G), an LEA must have at least 1,000 such students in average daily attendance, or the 

number of such students must equal or exceed 10 percent of the total average daily attendance 

in that LEA.

To determine the maximum payment an LEA may receive, the statute specifies weights for each 

category of federally connected students. The weighted student count is multiplied by the 

greatest of four local contribution rates (LCRs), which are intended to represent the local share 

of the cost of educating these students, to determine the LEA's maximum payment. The four 

LCR options are:

• One-half of the U.S. average per-pupil expenditure for education;

• One-half of the State per-pupil expenditure (SPPE);

• The LCR of comparable LEAs in the State; and

• The product of the SPPE and the local contribution percentage (the percentage of education 

expenditures that comes from the local level) in the State.

Basic support payments

If appropriations are insufficient to make maximum payments in full, the formula reduces 

maximum payments by multiplying them by a percentage, called the Learning Opportunity 

Threshold (LOT) percentage, which is the sum of:

• The percentage of the LEA’s students in average daily attendance who are federally 

connected; and

• The LEA’s maximum payment under the Basic Support Payments formula as a percentage 

of total current expenditures.

The sum of these two percentages may not exceed 100 percent. In addition to this maximum 

LOT, LEAs with an enrollment of fewer than 1,000 students and per-pupil expenditure below the 

State or national average receive a minimum LOT of 40 percent. A LOT percentage, when 

multiplied by a maximum payment, results in a LOT payment. If the appropriation is insufficient 

to provide LOT payments in full, the formula ratably reduces these payments. If the level of 

funding exceeds the level needed to fund LOT payments but is insufficient to provide maximum 

payments to all LEAs, the formula ratably increases these payments above the LOT. However, 

these ratably increased LOT payments may not exceed an LEA’s maximum payment.

Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs (section 7003(b)(2))

The ESSA and NDAA made multiple changes to eligibility criteria and payment formulas for 

Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs, including eliminating the distinction 

between new and continuing LEAs. Under the amended ESEA, there are 23 Heavily Impacted 

LEAs (out of more than 1,000 total LEAs receiving Impact Aid payments) that meet 

requirements generally reflecting greater impact on education revenues from the Federal 

presence than experienced by regular Impact Aid LEAs, including such factors as geographic 

boundaries contiguous or wholly within a Federal installation, high tax rates for general fund 

purposes, high enrollment of federally connected students, per-pupil expenditures, LEA poverty 

rates, and total enrollment.

An LEA that loses eligibility for heavily impacted payments will continue to receive a such a

payment in the first year it falls out of eligibility. An LEA that loses eligibility due to falling below 

95 percent of the average tax rate for general fund purposes for 2 consecutive years will 

continue to receive a heavily impacted payment in the first 2 years of ineligibility. An LEA must 

be eligible for 2 consecutive years before returning to heavily impacted status.

The Heavily Impacted maximum payments are based on a formula that is similar to the regular 

Basic Support Payments but that produces much larger payments for the eligible LEAs — the 

average per-pupil payment for Heavily Impacted LEAs is roughly $6,000, compared to $1,600

per-pupil for regular Impact Aid districts. Under the formula for heavily impacted LEAs, LEAs 

receive funds on behalf of students in categories (F) and (G), even if the number of those 

students falls below the Basic Support Payment thresholds of 1,000 students or 10 percent. 

Moreover, many recipients’ payments are based on substantially higher weights for federally 

connected students than apply to regular payments for the same types of students. Heavily 

impacted LEAs receive higher weights for their federally connected students based on the 

number of students in the LEA, the composition of the students within the LEA, or a combination 
IMPACT AID

Basic support payments

11

of the two. For instance, federally connected students receive weights ranging from .05 to

1.35 per student under the regular Basic Support Payments formula, but they receive a weight 

of 1.75 per student under the Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs formula, 

provided that the LEA has 100 or fewer federally connected students.

The local contribution rates (LCRs) are also much higher under the heavily impacted formula. 

They are the higher of:

• Eighty percent of the U.S. average per-pupil expenditure for education; or

• Eighty percent of the SPPE.

Heavily Impacted LEAs receive their maximum Heavily Impacted payments so long as funding 

is sufficient to cover the maximum payments for these LEAs and funds are sufficient to fully fund 

LOT payments for regular LEAs under section 7003(b)(1). If the appropriation is insufficient to 

provide LOT payments in full for regular LEAs under section 7003(b)(1), Basic Support 

Payments to heavily impacted LEAs are ratably reduced by the same percentage as payments 

to regular LEAs.

The Basic Support Payments program also includes hold-harmless language that applies to all 

eligible LEAs (regular and Heavily Impacted). An LEA with a payment that decreases by 

20 percent or more from the previous year will receive 90 percent of the previous year’s 

payment. In the following year, the LEA will receive no less than 85 percent of the previous 

year’s payment. And in the third year following the determination of a 20 percent decrease in 

payment, the LEA will receive no less than 80 percent of the previous year’s payment.

Funding levels for the past 5 fiscal years were:

FY 2024 BUDGET REQUEST

For fiscal year 2024, the Administration requests $1.5 billion for Basic Support Payments, level 

with the fiscal year 2023 appropriation. The request retains appropriations language enacted in 

2023 that provides continued eligibility for students affected by the deployment or death of their 

military parents, ensuring that the LEAs serving these children are not adversely affected by 

ongoing military action overseas.

The request recognizes that students counted under categories (A), (B), and (C)—primarily 

students who reside on Indian lands or who reside on and whose parents work on Federal 

property—represent a major financial expense for LEAs that educate them. Because federally 

owned land and Indian lands are exempt from local taxes, such LEAs lack the ability to raise 
IMPACT AID

12

funds to educate these students using property taxes, which are the primary source of local 

revenue for public education costs.

Although the impact of students counted under categories (D), (E), (F), and (G)—primarily 

students who reside in low-rent housing and students who reside, or whose parents work, on 

private property—does not create the same financial burden for LEAs, it is still significant. 

Military families living off-base pay property taxes on their residences but typically pay little in 

sales tax and, because of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, often do not pay income taxes to 

their State or locality of residence. While all types of “off-base” students either reside, or have 

parents who work, on property that the district cannot tax, the education of children and youth 

who reside in low-rent housing is costly to districts because of the need for additional academic 

assistance and other supports often required for students from low-income backgrounds.

The 2024 Request would maintain the Department’s commitment to almost 800,000 federally 

connected children in over 1,000 school districts by providing sufficient funding to pay every 

LEA its full LOT payment and provide LEAs an increased percentage of their maximum 

payment amount. While LEAs may expend their payments for either current operations or 

capital costs, the program’s formula is designed to compensate LEAs for current expenditures 

for educating federally connected students. Most districts report that they use Basic Support 

Payments for payroll and general operating expenditures.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires local educational agencies 

(LEAs) to provide a free appropriate public education to students with disabilities, whose 

educational costs are generally higher than those of other students. Most of the costs 

associated with serving students with disabilities in accordance with the IDEA are paid with 

State and local funds, as well as with Federal IDEA funds. Impact Aid Payments for Children 

with Disabilities provides supplemental assistance to LEAs that have a reduced local revenue 

base due to a Federal presence by providing a portion of the cost of educating federally 

connected students with disabilities that, in other LEAs, is met with local funds.

ESEA section 7003(d)(1) authorizes payments to LEAs that meet the eligibility requirements 

under the Basic Support Payments authority for the following categories of federally connected 

students who are eligible for services under the IDEA:

A. Students who live on Federal property with a parent who is a foreign military officer 

accredited by a foreign government;

B. Students who live on Federal property and who have a parent on active duty in the 

uniformed services of the United States;

C. Students who live on Indian lands; and

D. Students who do not live on Federal property but who have a parent on active duty in the 

uniformed services of the United States or a parent who is a foreign military officer 

accredited by a foreign government.

Available funds are paid to LEAs based on the number of eligible students with disabilities 

enrolled in each LEA, except that a student in category (D) receives one-half of the weight 

provided for students in categories (A), (B), and (C). Funds are ratably distributed based on the 

weighted student count.

1 The GEPA extension expired September 30, 2021. Reauthorization for FY 2024 is expected through appropriation 

action. 
IMPACT AID

LEAs that receive payments under this authority must use the funds to provide the students who 

are counted with a free appropriate public education in accordance with the IDEA. These 

payments are intended to help pay the "excess costs" of educating these students (i.e., those 

costs that exceed the cost of educating a student without a disability).

Funding levels for the past 5 fiscal years were:

FY 2024 BUDGET REQUEST

For fiscal year 2024, the Administration requests $48.3 million for Payments for Children with 

Disabilities, level with the fiscal year 2023 appropriation. These payments would be made on 

behalf of federally connected children with disabilities in order to help eligible LEAs provide a 

free appropriate public education to all children and youth with disabilities.

Using the national average per-pupil expenditure as the measure of excess cost of educating a 

federally connected student with a disability, the combination of IDEA funds and Payments for 

Children with Disabilities in fiscal year 2024 would provide, on average, 21 percent of the 

excess cost to eligible LEAs. The supplemental funding under this authority is justified because 

federally affected LEAs are unable to tax Federal property to help meet the excess costs of

educating children and youth with disabilities who reside with their parents on Federal lands.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Department makes awards to local educational agencies (LEAs) under section 7008 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for emergency repairs and for 

comprehensive capital improvements to schools that the Department owns but that LEAs use to 

serve federally connected military dependent students. In addition, the law mandates that the 

Department transfer these facilities to the appropriate LEAs or other entities as soon as 

practicable. The Department may not charge LEAs for the use of these school buildings and 

must gain an LEA's consent to accept them. Subject to these restrictions, the Department may 

transfer ownership on such terms as the Secretary deems appropriate. Funds for this program 

are available until expended.

Currently, the Department owns five schools that are on military bases, are operated by LEAs,

and serve students whose parents are in the armed forces. Since 2004, ED has been 

continually working to transfer titles of over 60 school facilities that the Department of Defense 

(DoD) operates as Domestic Dependents Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESSs). As of 

2022, the final two facilities operated by DoD as DDESSs were fully transferred to DoD.

school facilities currently owned by the Department to LEAs, which can manage school 

buildings in their communities more effectively than the Federal Government. In addition, funds 

would be used to provide emergency repairs, such as correcting health and safety hazards, in 

school facilities owned by the Department that have not yet been transferred. 

The Department completed the transfer to DoD the titles to the remaining facilities funded and 

operated by DoD. The five remaining school facilities owned by the Department and operated 

by LEAs generally are in poor condition, and most LEAs are unwilling to accept the schools 

unless the Department provides sufficient funds to the LEA to correct any deficiencies.

PROGRAM PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The Department’s measure of progress for this program is the number of schools removed from 

the inventory of Department-owned facilities through transfers to LEAs. (The measure does not 

include no-cost transfers to DoD, as the maintenance of those schools is not supported through 

the program.) Since 1999, the number of schools for which the Department is responsible has 

decreased by 91 percent, from 53 to 5, thus reducing the agency’s responsibility for 

maintenance and renovation.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Department makes formula and competitive grants under Section 7007 of the Elementary 

and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to support school construction in local educational 

agencies (LEAs) that educate federally connected students or have federally owned land. The 

authorizing statute provides that 40 percent of appropriated funds must be used for formula 

grants under section 7007(a) and 60 percent for competitive grants under section 7007(b). 

However, Congress typically overrides this statutory requirement to require the use of all funds 

for either formula or competitive grants in alternating years; for example, it required competitive 

grants in fiscal years 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023 but funded formula grants in fiscal years 2018, 

2020 and 2022. 

Formula grants (section 7007(a))

Three categories of LEAs are eligible for formula Construction grants:

• Those in which the number of students living on Indian lands is at least 50 percent of the 

LEA’s total average daily attendance and that receive a regular Basic Support Payment;

Those in which the number of students with a parent in the uniformed services is at least 

50 percent of the LEA’s total average daily attendance and that receive a regular Basic 

Support Payment; and

• Those that receive Basic Support Payments for Heavily Impacted LEAs.

Payments are determined by distributing half of the available funds among eligible LEAs based 

on each LEA’s share of the total weighted count of students living on Indian lands, as specified 

in the regular Basic Support Payments formula, and half of the available funds among eligible 

LEAs based on each LEA’s share of the total weighted count of students whose parents are in 

the uniformed services, as specified in the regular Basic Support Payments formula.

1 The GEPA extension expired September 30, 2021. Reauthorization for FY 2024 is expected through appropriations 

action.
IMPACT AID

Competitive grants (section 7007(b))

The Department uses the statutory priority on emergency grants in awarding competitive 

construction grants. These grants go to school districts that are eligible to receive payments 

under the Impact Aid Construction formula and either have little or no bonding capacity or are 

eligible to receive payments as a “heavily impacted” school district under the Basic Support 

Payments formula.

Other criteria used to make awards include:

• The LEA’s level of bonded indebtedness,

• The assessed value of real property per student in the LEA compared to the average 

assessed value of real property per student in the State,

• The tax rate for school purposes in the LEA compared to the average rate in the State,

• Funds available for capital expenditures,

• The percentage of property that is not taxable due to a Federal presence, and

• The number and percentage of certain types of federally connected students.

In addition, emergency grants are awarded, in part, based on severity of need.

Competitive grant funds for certain LEAs may not exceed: (1) 50 percent of the total cost of the 

project assisted; or (2) $4.0 million during any 4-year period. When the appropriation for 

Construction has included funding for competitive grants, funds have been made available for 

2 years.

Funding levels for the past 5 fiscal years were:

FY 2024 BUDGET REQUEST

For fiscal year 2024, the Administration requests $18.4 million for Construction, level with the 

fiscal year 2023 appropriation. The request includes appropriations language that would require 

all funds to be used for competitive grants and to be available for 2 years. By awarding funds 

through a competitive process, the Department can ensure that districts with the greatest needs 

receive meaningful amounts of funding to make emergency repairs. The average award for 

competitive grants has been about $2.7 million for four to eight LEAs in the most recent three

competitions, while the average award under formula grants has been about $100,000 for 
IMPACT AID

Construction

25

170 LEAs, with a median award of under $40,000. Over 60 percent of LEAs receive less than 

$50,000 when formula grants are funded.

Because school construction is primarily financed from local funds, and because federally 

affected LEAs cannot tax certain lands, LEAs with large percentages of federally connected 

students need supplemental funds for construction. The competitive grants enable eligible 

districts to undertake emergency renovations and modernizations. Past projects have included 

replacement of elementary schools; purchase of water filtration systems; replacement or 

upgrading of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; repair of electrical systems; and 

replacement of faulty windows and roofs. The program is well-targeted because the eligibility 

pool is limited to some of the least resourced districts in the Nation that are also heavily 

dependent on Federal funding for their operating and maintenance expenses.

the assessed value of their tax base due to the acquisition, since 1938, of real property by the 

United States Government. 

If fully funded, the formula would provide payments by multiplying the current levied local real 

property tax rate of the LEA (or, in financially dependent school districts, an imputed real 

property tax rate) by the current estimated taxable value of the Federal property.

In the absence of full funding, payments are based on a “hold-harmless” formula designed to 

preserve historic funding levels for the roughly 200 individual LEAs supported by the program.

• First, a “foundation payment” is made to eligible LEAs (e.g. those that are not substantially 

compensated by revenues from Federal property, and that meet the other eligibility criteria) 

that were also eligible in fiscal year 2009 in an amount that is equal to the greater of 

90 percent of the payment the LEA received in fiscal year 2009 and 90 percent of the 

average payment that the LEA received in fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.

• Second, a special payment is made to the Highland Falls-Ft. Montgomery Central School 

District in New York, if it continues to meet the annual eligibility requirements.

• Third, from the remaining funds, a “foundation payment” is made to eligible LEAs that were 

not eligible in fiscal year 2009. The foundation payment for newly eligible LEAs since 

2009 is calculated as 90 percent of the eligible LEA’s maximum payment multiplied by the 

ratio of the appropriation to the total of all LEAs’ maximum payments in the most recent year 

in which payments have been completed.

• Fourth, any remaining funds are distributed based on prorated shares of maximum 

payments for the current year.

action.

Payments for Federal property

Payments for Federal Property may not exceed either of two different caps placed on these 

payments. The first cap limits the combination of these payments and payments received under 

the Basic Support Payments program (7003(b)) to an LEA’s maximum regular Basic Support 

Payment or the maximum Payment for Federal Property, whichever is greater. The second cap 

reduces the payment in the event that the combination of the calculated payment and any 

revenue the LEA received from the Federal property exceeds the maximum payment. 

Funding levels for the past 5 fiscal years were:

Fiscal Year (dollars in thousands)

2019 $74,313

2020 75,313

2021 76,313

2022 77,313

2023 78,313

FY 2024 BUDGET REQUEST

For fiscal year 2024, the Administration requests $78.3 million for Payments for Federal 

Property, level with the fiscal year 2023 appropriation. This authority provides payments to LEAs 

in which real property owned by the Federal Government generally represents 10 percent or 

more of the assessed value of real property in the LEA and, thus, the removal of this property 

from the tax rolls has a significant impact on the ability of the district to raise money for 

education. The request level will help enable LEAs to overcome the loss of property tax 

revenues.
