The Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act increases federal funding for Impact Aid, a program that compensates school districts for lost tax revenue due to federal property within their boundaries or large numbers of students whose parents work or live on federal land. The bill gradually increases appropriations across four funding categories from fiscal year 2026 through 2031: payments for federal property acquisitions (rising from $85 million to $250 million), basic and heavily impacted district payments (rising from $1.49 billion to $2.35 billion), special education payments for children with disabilities (rising from $50 million to $120 million), and school construction funds (rising from $20 million to $45 million). This legislation benefits school districts near military bases, Native American reservations, national parks, and other federal properties that lose property tax revenue. The bill represents a multi-year commitment to incrementally expand Impact Aid funding, with total appropriations growing substantially over the six-year period to help affected districts better serve their students.
