Purpose:
The Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced Students program provided funds for local educational agencies (LEAs) to assist with the cost of educating students displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita during school year 2005-2006, for nonpublic schools serving displaced students, and for Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)-funded schools serving displaced students. |
Who was Eligible:
“Displaced students,” that is, the students for whom LEAs may receive payments, were those students who:
a. on August 22, 2005, resided in, and were enrolled or were eligible to be enrolled in a school in, an area for which the Federal Government later declared a major disaster related to Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita; and
b. as a result of their displacement by the storm, are enrolled in different schools on a date on which an enrollment count is taken for the purpose of this program. |
Note that the definition includes students who, on the date a count is taken, are enrolled in a school in their original LEA but, because of the impact of one of the hurricanes, are not in their original school. |
