Summary

Indochina Refugee Children Assistance Act - Defines terms used in this Act. Directs the Commissioner of Education to make grants to State and territorial educational agencies for the public education of Vietnamese and Cambodian refugee children. Sets forth a formula for determining the amount of such grants. States that no such grants may be made unless the State submits an application to the Commissioner containing specified information and assurances that such payments will be distributed among local educational agencies within that State in direct proportion to the number of Indochinese refugee children served by each such local educational agency. Authorizes supplementary assistance grants of $300 per child to any State educational agency which provides for the unique educational needs of Indochinese refugee children who are aged five to seventeen, inclusive. Authorizes appropriations for basic entitlement grants of $57,000,000 for fiscal year 1976, $14,500,000 for the period beginning January 1, 1976 and ending September 30, 1976, and $29,000,000 for fiscal year 1977. Authorizes specified appropriations for supplementary assistance grants.
