SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region 
        contained the highest population levels and the most complex 
        Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of 
        European peoples in the 16th century.
            (2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted 
        Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at 
        different times in the last 450 years.
            (3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the 
        Mississippi Valley region.
            (4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside 
        of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley 
        region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with 
        Native Americans.
            (5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting 
        the heritage of the United States, the largest of these 
        archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park 
        Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
            (6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville, 
        Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and 
        archaeological resources.
            (7) These previous actions by the Department of the 
        Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely 
        to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations 
        of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central 
        Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park 
        Service.
            (8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other 
        regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic, 
        cultural, and recreational resources associated with the 
        heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
            (9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition 
        through the establishment of a national historical park for the 
        central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National 
        Park System.
            (10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in 
        Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are 
        readily available for the establishment of a national 
        historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to 
        protect the archaeological sites located on the former military 
        installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret 
        the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit, 
        education, and inspiration of present and future generations of 
        Americans.

[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Building Our Children's Future Act 
of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) According to a 1995 General Accounting Office report, 
        the unmet need for school construction and renovation in the 
        United States is $112,000,000,000. The National Center for 
        Education Statistics further found that \3/4\ of the Nation's 
        schools need funding to bring buildings up to good overall 
        condition.
            (2) The Department of Education has found that the average 
        age of a public school building is 42 years, an age when 
        schools tend to deteriorate.
            (3) According to a 1999 report from the National Education 
        Association, at least an additional 2,400 new public schools 
        will be needed by 2003 to accommodate the ``baby boom echo''.
            (4) In 2000, the General Accounting Office reported that 
        annual school construction expenditures increased nationally by 
        39 percent from fiscal year 1990 through 1997, from 
        $17,800,000,000 to $24,700,000,000.
            (5) Studies have found a link between school building 
        conditions and student learning. In 1996, Dr. Glenn Earthman of 
        the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University 
        compared test scores in substandard and above standard schools, 
        and found a positive correlation between school conditions and 
        test scores.
            (6) Rural schools face different and difficult school 
        modernization needs and often have limited financial resources 
        to meet their needs. In 1996, the General Accounting Office 
        reported that 30 percent of small town and rural schools have 
        at least 1 inadequate building and 52 percent have at least 1 
        building feature, such as a roof, plumbing, heating or air 
        conditioning, needing repair or replacement.
            (7) Schools in smaller areas have low tax bases that make 
        it difficult to pay for bond financing costs. Also, such 
        schools' bond issues are relatively small and unfamiliar to 
        investors, making them less attractive.
            (8) In 2000, the General Accounting Office reported that 
        areas with the highest enrollment growth rates also tend to 
        have the highest construction expenditures per pupil.
            (9) In addition to basic infrastructure, providing students 
        and teachers access to technology will be a critical part of 
        school improvement in the 21st century, and the provision of 
        such access will require renovation.
            (10) The Federal Government has made a commitment to 
        support the education of students with disabilities and 
        providing such education can require renovation and increased 
        construction costs.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to provide grants for 
school renovation, repair, and construction, with priority given to 
serving schools that--
            (1) have been damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster; 
        or
            (2) the State determines are high poverty or high growth 
        schools.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Local educational agency.--The term ``local educational 
        agency'' has the meaning given such term in section 9101 of the 
        Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
        7801).
            (2) Outlying area.--The term ``outlying area'' has the 
        meaning given such term in section 9101 of the Elementary and 
        Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7801).
            (3) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of Education.
            (4) State.--The term ``State'' means each of the 50 States, 
        the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

                educational agencies--

                        Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
                        7703(b)) for the preceding fiscal year; and
                            (ii) with respect to which the number of 
                        children determined under section 8003(a)(1)(C) 
                        of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act 
                        of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7703(a)(1)(C)) for the 
                        preceding school year constituted at least 50 
                        percent of the total student enrollment in the 
                        schools of that agency during the preceding 
                        school year,
                for the construction, renovation, or repair of schools 
                served by those agencies; and
                    (B) reserve 0.325 percent to award grants to local 
                educational agencies in the outlying areas for the 
                renovation or repair of high-need schools (as defined 
                in section 2304(d)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary 
                Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6674(d)(3))) served by 
                such agencies.
            (2) Allotment to states.--
