TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Sec. 2701. Educational facilities
Whenever the Secretary of State determines that educational
facilities are not available, or that existing educational facilities
are inadequate, to meet the needs of children of United States citizens
stationed outside the United States who are engaged in carrying out
Government activities, the Secretary may, in such manner as he deems
appropriate and under such regulations as he may prescribe, establish,
operate, and maintain primary schools, and school dormitories and
related educational facilities for primary and secondary schools,
outside the United States, make grants of funds for such purposes, or
otherwise provide for such educational facilities. The authorities of
the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926 [22 U.S.C. 292 et seq.], and of
paragraphs (h) and (i) of section 2670 of this title, may be utilized by
the Secretary in providing assistance for educational facilities. Such
assistance may include hiring, transporting, and payment of teachers and
other necessary personnel. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
where the child of a United States citizen employee of an agency of the
United States Government who is stationed outside the United States
attends an educational facility assisted by the Secretary of State under
this section, the head of that agency is authorized to reimburse, or
credit with advance payment, the Department of State for funds used in
providing assistance to such educational facilities, by grant or
otherwise, under this section.
