Federally Impacted Schools Educational Foundation - National Association of Federally Impacted Schools Federally Impacted Schools Educational Foundation The Federally Impacted Schools Educational Foundation (FISEF), established in 2000 by the Board of Directors of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS) as a 501(c)(3), provides support to federally impacted public school districts in the United States.
Federally impacted school districts are those that lose out on local tax revenue due to the presence of nontaxable Federal properties, such as Indian lands, military installations, low rent housing, national parks and national laboratories.
Since most public schools are funded in large part by local property taxes, these districts receive Impact Aid, a Federal program to replace the revenue lost and ensure these districts have the resources they need to provide a quality education to the students they serve.
FISEF promotes public awareness about the operation of Impact Aid, advancing its mission through two main activities: Technical assistance workshops for school district leaders and staff who complete the annual Impact Aid application. Workshops help attendees master the application process as well as provide context about the program by discussing the history, statute and regulations associated with Impact Aid.

WC Docket No. 26-173 is the first comprehensive review of USAC since 1998. It proposes writing schools, libraries, and health care providers into the audit rule, codifying extrapolated recoveries from statistical samples, requiring payment before appeals resolve, and cutting the USAC board from 20 to 13 — eliminating the Schools and Libraries Committee along the way.
Read articleA rewrite of the federal grants rulebook would let political appointees pre-approve or cancel discretionary grants, add per-expense written justification, and layer new state verification before dollars reach districts — while House appropriators move to cut Title I by 9 percent ($1.6 billion). A Senate stopgap blocks the rule only until December 11, 2026. Here is what changes for education grant recipients and the readiness moves to make now.
Read articleBuried in OMB's 400-page rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 is a structural decision to delete fixed-amount awards and fixed-amount subawards as a permissible federal grant vehicle except where Congress explicitly authorizes them by statute. The change targets outcome-payment grants, milestone-based workforce training contracts, charter school federal pass-throughs, and the entire universe of simplified award programs that have allowed small grantees to operate without month-by-month cost accounting infrastructure. Comments close July 13; proposed effective date October 1. Grantees who do not begin building cost-allocation systems now will not be able to bid on FY27 NOFOs.
