 
 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.
