A form that requires just five minutes to complete can lead to thousands of dollars in funding for textbooks, hiring staff and educators, and maintaining schools.
It's time for the Federal Impact Aid form, and we encourage all parents with children enrolled in district schools to take part in completing it.
What is the Federal Impact Aid Survey?
It’s referred to as a survey, although it is essentially a short form utilized by the federal government to assess a family's federal connection.
A parent/guardian is federally connected if:
They live in federally supported housing.
They work on federal property.
They are active-duty.
They are an active full-time member of a foreign military.
The federal government gathers this information from school districts and compensates them with thousands of dollars to cover revenue losses from federally connected properties.
Camden is home to thousands of families who are connected to the federal government.
Why is completing the form important?
This is crucial because the school district could obtain federal funding for textbooks, materials, personnel, and other education-related expenses, depending on the number of federally-connected students enrolled in our schools.
That’s the reason the district requests families to fill out the Federal Impact Survey every fall. This survey assists in identifying whether a student has federal connections.
