S. 1275, the Impact Aid Infrastructure Partnership Act, authorizes $250 million annually for four years to help schools in federally impacted districts repair, modernize, and replace aging school facilities. The bill creates two grant programs—competitive grants for schools with health and safety violations or structural deficiencies (75% of funding) and formula grants for districts with limited bonding capacity (25% of funding)—with priority given to districts containing large amounts of non-taxable federal property and schools serving Native American students or remote teacher housing needs. School districts contribute 10-25% of project costs based on financial need, while the federal government fully funds districts unable to issue bonds. Grant money can support construction, renovation, and repairs but cannot be used for land acquisition or facilities the district doesn't own, with any unspent funds redirected to other Impact Aid programs.
