extend federal assistance to eligible local education agencies providing education for children
residing on federal property, including DoD installations.

transportation to school children in their districts must also provide transportation to school
children residing on DoD installations which are located within their school district.

transportation for children residing on DoD installations, transportation may be provided by the
DoD. Such services may be reimbursed by the local education agency under current Department of
Education policies.

authority conferred upon the Department of the Navy by 10 U.S.C. 7204(a)(2) (reference (t)) to
provide funds specifically appropriated for the purpose of providing transportation for dependents
between the school and the activity when the schools are not accessible by regular means of
