            (1) In general.--For each of fiscal years 2020 through

                    (A) one-half of 1 percent, to make allocations to 
                the outlying areas in accordance with paragraph (3); 
                and
                    (B) one-half of 1 percent, for payments to the

                Bureau-funded schools.
            (2) Use of reserved funds.--

                        receives assistance under paragraph (1)(B) in 
                        the same manner that such sections apply to a 
                        qualified local educational agency that 
                        receives covered funds. The facilities of a

            (1) Pyrrhotite-affected school.--The term ``pyrrhotite-
        affected school'' means an elementary school or a secondary 
        school that meets the following criteria:
                    (A) The school has a concrete foundation.
                    (B) Pyrrhotite is present in the school's concrete 
                foundation, as demonstrated by a petrographic or other 
                type of laboratory core analysis or core inspection.
                    (C) A visual inspection of the school's concrete 
                foundation indicates that the presence of pyrrhotite is 
                causing the foundation to deteriorate at an unsafe 
                rate.
                    (D) A qualified engineer determined that the 
                deterioration of the school's foundation, due to the 
                presence of pyrrhotite--
                            (i) caused the school to become 
                        structurally unsound; or
                            (ii) will result in the school becoming 
                        structurally unsound within the next five 
                        years.
            (2) Qualified contractor.--The term ``qualified 
        contractor'' means a contractor who is qualified under State 
        law, or approved by any State agency or other State-sanctioned 
        independent or nonprofit entity, to repair or replace

        deteriorating due to the presence of pyrrhotite.
