The authorities of the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926 [[22 U.S.C. 292](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section292&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], and of paragraphs (h) and (i) of [section 2670 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section2670&num=0&edition=prelim), may be utilized by the Secretary in providing assistance for educational facilities. Such assistance may include physical security enhancements and hiring, transporting, and payment of teachers and other necessary personnel. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where the child of a United States citizen employee of an agency of the United States Government who is stationed outside the United States attends an educational facility assisted by the Secretary of State under this section, the head of that agency is authorized to reimburse, or credit with advance payment, the Department of State for funds used in providing assistance to such educational facilities, by grant or otherwise, under this section.
