Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

• Families and students: Schools serving higher shares of low‑income students would be prioritized for upgrades that target indoor air quality, lead and PFAS testing, seismic and foundation repairs, and safer learning spaces. Some priority thresholds are 40 percent free/reduced‑price lunch for elementary and middle schools and 30 percent for high schools.
• Local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools: States would distribute need‑based grants and LEAs must submit a 10‑year facilities master plan within 180 days of a grant; Title I facilities grants are authorized at $20 billion a year for FY2027–FY2031 and States may use up to 10 percent of grants for digital learning.
• States, Tribes, and agencies: States must create public online facilities databases updated at least every 3 years and meet a 10 percent non‑Federal match rule unless waived; Bureau‑funded and tribally operated schools get special allocations and treatment.

*This bill would authorize large new federal outlays including $20.0 billion per year for five years for Title I facilities and $100.0 million per year for Impact Aid construction, and it would create tax‑credit school infrastructure bonds that could reduce federal revenue, so it would increase federal budgetary commitments.*
