Washington state senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell applauded the advancement of a provision in the Every Child Achieves Act (ECAA) that would help the Central Kitsap School District.
The provision would fix the current Impact Aid formula to remove the subjectivity from the program, and direct the U.S. Secretary of Education to release up to $14 million in unobligated funds to the Central Kitsap School District for the fiscal years in which it is deemed ineligible for these investments, according to a press release from Sen. Murray.
The Impact Aid Program provides federal funding for areas with high populations of military families and children living in tribal communities, the release states.
