Impact Aid

A Federal funding opportunity called 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. Eligibility for funding is determined each school year through the Federal Impact Aid Survey Form. Lee County Schools has combined the Impact Ad Survey with the Every Student Succeeds Act Military Student Identifier Form.

To qualify for Impact Aid funding, we must have a completed form for each federally connected student. To ensure we reach all eligible families, we sent a form home with students within Lee County Schools, made thd survey form available through the Parent Portal, and posted the form on the Auxiliary Department page of the Lee County School website. 

  • If you are a parent, step-parent, or guardian currently serving in the military or are a veteran of military service, please fill out SECTION 1 and SECTION 2, sign, date, and return the survey to your child’s school. Students DO NOT have to reside with the military-connected parent.

  • If you are a parent, step-parent, or guardian living with a student and work on federal property in the state of North Carolina, please complete SECTION 1 and SECTION 3, sign, date, and return the survey to your child’s school. Students of parents working on federal property MUST reside with the parent to be eligible.

  • If you are an accredited foreign government official or a foreign military officer, please complete SECTION 2 and SECTION 4, sign, date, and return the survey to your child’s school

  • If you are not in the military and are not employed on Federal property, you do not have to return the form.

  • PLEASE NOTE-In SECTION 2, under Military Status, if you checked you are Active Reserves (AGR) or Active National Guard (AGR), please provide a copy of your orders.

All of the survey forms will be treated as confidential information and will be used for no other purpose than stated here. Forms are maintained at the Central Office and only total numbers of federally connected students are reported to the Department of Education. Personal information collected on the forms never leaves the district.
