Title: Military Base Closures and the Impact Aid Program for Education
Authors: Rebecca R. Skinner, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: The first part of this report provides an overview of the Impact Aid program, including the calculation of Impact Aid payments to LEAs, and an overview of the BRAC recommendations. This is followed by a discussion of the potential effects of the BRAC recommendations on LEAs that will both lose and gain students as a result of the changes. Following a discussion of DOD appropriations and other actions focused specifically on students affected by BRAC and other rebasing initiatives, the report concludes with a discussion of actions that have been taken by LEAs in anticipation of large influxes of federally connected students.
