Bill > SRes406

This resolution designates September 30, 2025, as "Impact Aid Recognition Day" to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Impact Aid program, a federal education funding mechanism that supports local school districts with significant federal property or populations of "federally connected children" (such as military families, Native American students, and children living on federal lands). Established in 1950 by President Harry S. Truman, the program reimburses local educational agencies for lost revenue and costs associated with federal property within their boundaries. In 2025, the program is expected to provide $1.625 billion to approximately 1,100 local educational agencies serving over 8 million students, supporting more than 600,000 federally connected children across 4.7 million acres of federally owned land. The resolution highlights the program's longstanding bipartisan support, noting it has been reauthorized 16 times between 1950 and 2020, and recognizes the ongoing federal obligation to ensure high-quality education for children in federally impacted school districts.
