On October 18, parents and guardians of CMCSS received an electronic Federal Impact Aid survey.
Federal Impact Aid is designed to assist local school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt Federal property. Federal Impact Aid is set up for school districts where federally owned lands (such as Fort Campbell, government buildings, TVA steam plants, subsidized housing, etc.) are located. It intends to help offset the lost property taxes that would be collected if businesses or privately owned residences were located there instead. Federal Impact Aid does not provide an amount of funding for every military-dependent child who is served in our school system.
Each year, the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System sends parents a survey to collect data about federally connected students. The funding formula that determines how much money a school system will receive hinges on accurate information collected on the survey.
It is crucial that parents complete the forms. And the information must be what was accurate on October 17, 2022. This year, there will be a confidential electronic survey, which does not affect personal taxes or those living in subsidized housing.
Please complete the survey by November 15, 2022.
