SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 385a. Payments to school districts for education of
dependents of construction personnel; cooperative arrangements;
chargeable to project
The Secretary of the Interior, giving due consideration to the
temporary nature of the requirements therefor, is authorized to make
such provision as he deems to be necessary and in the public interest
for the education of dependents of persons employed on the actual
construction of projects or features of projects, by the Bureau of
Reclamation, in any cases in which he finds that by reason of such
construction activity, an undue burden is, or will be cast upon the
facilities of the public-school districts serving the areas in which
construction is being undertaken, and to pay for the same from any funds
available for the construction of said projects: Provided, That the
Secretary of the Interior shall enter into cooperative arrangements with
local school districts wherein such features are situated to contribute
toward covering the cost of furnishing the educational services required
for such dependents, or for the operation by those school districts of
Government facilities, or for the expansion of local school facilities.
Such cost incurred hereunder shall be charged to the project concerned
and shall be repayable in the same manner and to the same extent as are
its other costs of construction.
