The bill also includes provisions to streamline the application process for Impact Aid funding, making it easier for school districts to access the resources they need. Additionally, it seeks to increase transparency and accountability in how Impact Aid funds are used, ensuring that the money is being spent effectively and efficiently. Overall, the Supplemental Impact Aid Flexibility Act is designed to empower school districts to better serve their federally connected students and ensure that they have the resources they need to succeed. It is currently being considered by Congress and has received bipartisan support for its efforts to improve the Impact Aid program.

Congressional Summary of HR 6126

Supplemental Impact Aid Flexibility Act

This bill revises the Impact Aid Program application process for FY2023.

Specifically, the bill requires local educational agencies (LEAs) participating in the Impact Aid Program to use the student count or federal property valuation data from their FY2022 program applications, as applicable, for their FY2023 program applications. The program provides funding to LEAs that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal property or to those that have experienced increased expenditures due to enrollment of federally connected children (e.g., children living on Indian lands or military bases).
