Section 8003 of the Impact Aid Program

Section 8003 of the Impact Aid Program provides federal funding to school districts that experience decreased funding due to the presence of federal properties, such as military bases or Native American reservations, within their boundaries. This section ensures schools can receive financial support even when local property taxes, which typically fund education, are lower. It aims to help these districts maintain educational resources and services for students, recognizing that they serve families associated with federal activities that can limit local funding.
