The laws covered in this report were initiated as part of a federal policy of assisting school districts financially burdened as a result of new or expanded federal activities. Public Law 81-874 authorizes financial assistance for maintenance and operation of schools that have been financially burdened by government activities. Public Law 81-815 authorizes federal financial assistance for construction of urgently needed minimum school facilities in school districts having substantial membership increases due to new or increased federal activities. A seperate section of the report contains information on federal disaster aid for schools. Provisions for such aid are included in both the laws discussed here. The bulk of this report is made up of statistical tables covering payments to and current expenditures of local education agencies and related information. (Author/IRT)
