If Congress doesn’t act before Friday, officials from one local school district say its operations will face severe cuts on day one of the so-called federal sequestration and not just over time, as some analysts are predicting.

Sequestered cuts to the federal budget are set to take effect Friday and the White House said this past weekend that would include cuts to federal school “Impact Aid,” a program that helps school districts impacted by a federal presence by providing them an “in-lieu of tax” payment. In Solano County, Travis Unified School District relies heavily on federal impact aid to educate more than 5,400 students.
