This resolution supports designating September 30, 2025, as "Impact Aid Recognition Day" to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Impact Aid program, which was originally established by President Harry S. Truman in 1950. The Impact Aid program, administered by the Secretary of Education, reimburses local educational agencies for revenue lost due to tax-exempt federal property within their boundaries. In 2025, the program will serve over 600,000 "federally connected children," including children of military service members, those living on Indian lands, in public housing, or on federal land. The resolution highlights that the program will provide $1,625,151,000 to approximately 1,100 local educational agencies serving over 8,000,000 students. Congress has demonstrated ongoing support by reauthorizing the program 16 times between 1950 and 2020, and established a Congressional Impact Aid Caucus to formalize bipartisan support. The resolution ultimately recognizes the program's continued importance in ensuring that children in federally impacted school districts receive a high-quality education and have opportunities to reach their full potential.
