Impact Aid

ABOUT IMPACT AID

Federal Impact Aid is designed to assist local school districts that have lost tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal property, or experienced increased expenditures due to the enrollment of federally connected children. Active duty military, contractors and civilian employees who work on federal property and those who live in federal housing are eligible to participate. Money received from Federal Impact Aid is used to offset costs on campuses with federally connected students. Eligibility for funding is determined each school year through the Federal Impact Aid Survey Form. Additionally, MCS has combined the Impact Aid Survey with the Every Student Succeeds Act Military Student Identifier Form so families only have to complete form each school year.

For more information about Impact Aid, read the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS) Parent FAQs or visit the U.S Department of Education's Impact Aid Program.

MCS ANNUAL IMPACT AID SURVEY

Impact Aid Surveys are completed annually and all federally connected students must submit a new form each year. MCS's annual Impact Aid Survey takes place each October and is conducted electronically. Military-connected families will need to access the PowerSchool Parent Portal for their child/children to complete the survey. For specific details about the current Impact Aid Survey, please visit the MCS Impact Aid Webpage.
