A House subcommittee is reportedly proposing to eliminate funding targeted at helping school districts with heavy concentrations of military students.

Some $38 million, including $8 million aimed at helping schools affected by base realignments and closures, was cut when the House defense appropriations subcommittee drafted the bill July 12, according to John Deegan, president of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, and superintendent of Bellevue Public Schools near Offutt Air Force Base, Neb.
