## Summary

**Directs new federal grants to modernize and repair school buildings in federally impacted local education agencies (LEAs).** It would set up a two-track program of competitive and formula grants and prioritize districts with low property tax bases or limited bonding capacity. - Students and families: Safer, more accessible, and tech-ready classrooms through construction, renovation, and repairs that address health, safety, capacity, and connectivity gaps. - Local districts: Grants split 75% competitive and 25% formula, with formula rules that adjust weighted student units to favor certain federally impacted student populations. - Local financing: Districts with no bonding capacity may receive full federal funding; other districts would pay a non-Federal share ranging from 10% to 25% based on learning-opportunity thresholds. *This bill would authorize $250 million per year for four years, totaling $1.0 billion, increasing federal spending over that period.*
