The Pubic Law 874 Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies in areas affected by Federal activities, distributing over $800 million to public school districts in FY78. The program has been controversial since its enactment in 1950, with amendments expanding eligibility and participation. The program is administered by the Division of School Assistance in Federally Affected Areas within the US Office of Education. The authorizing legislation outlines different sections providing assistance for various situations, such as financial burdens from Federal property acquisition and sudden increases in school enrollment. The program faces issues related to funding levels, treatment under State school finance plans, and unresolved matters from the Education Amendments of 1974. The program is complex and involves multiple policy issues.
