Dear Parents & Guardians:
Today or tomorrow your child will receive a paper copy of the 2023 Federal Impact Aid survey for you to complete and return to the school by Friday, November 3, 2023. As was stated in the FindOutFirst email sent by FCPS recently, the purpose of the survey is to collect information from families regarding military service and/or residence or employment on federal property. The Federal Impact Aid survey is administered every year but this year the survey is in paper form.
Why is it important to complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey?
Federal Impact Aid is a Federal education fund that reimburses school districts for lost revenue and additional costs associated with the presence of tax-exempt Federal property including military installations, Federal low-rent housing facilities, national laboratories, and other Federal buildings and lands, etc. Frederick County Public Schools may receive financial assistance from the Federal Government (under Public Law 81-874) based on the number of pupils whose parents/guardians are active in the military or whose parents live or work on federal property in Maryland.
If a parent/guardian is active in the military or lives/works on federal property and has multiple students in Frederick County Public Schools, a survey must be completed for each student.
