## Summary

**Creates a federal-local partnership to fund construction, modernization, and repairs for school facilities that serve federally impacted local educational agencies.** It would set up two grant streams and prioritize needs-based projects that improve health, safety, accessibility, and technology in classrooms. - Families and students: Targets improvements that boost health, safety, ADA access, and technology-enabled learning, aiming for better day-to-day learning environments. - Federally impacted local educational agencies: Establishes competitive grants and formula grants, with 75% directed to competitive awards and 25% to formula grants, and an authorization of $250.0 million each year for four years. - Tribal, rural, and teacher housing needs: Allows local matching and in-kind contributions, recognizes higher rural and Alaska-Native costs, and permits grants to address teacher housing where lack of housing hurts recruitment. *Would authorize $250.0 million per year for four years, totaling $1.0 billion in new federal funding and increasing federal outlays over current law.*
