Impact Aid Forms Impact Aid Forms

zoom_out_map

What is Impact Aid? It is essentially money the federal government pays in lieu of taxes to schools that educate the children of federal workers. The form asks parents to list their job and where they work. Simply working on federal property like on Redstone Arsenal (NASA, Army, etc.), a federal courthouse or for TVA, will qualify the district for this money no matter if it is a military, civil service, or private contractor job. One form per child is required.


Please complete and return the Impact Aid forms ASAP.
