Tool Search: Impact Aid
The Impact Aid tool tracks a person's employment at Federal sites (Armed Forces locations, Reservation lands, etc.). Federal Impact Aid is designed to assist United States local school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt Federal property, or that have experienced increased expenditures due to the enrollment of federally connected children, including children living on Indian lands.
Impact Aid works in conjunction with the Military Connections tool, which tracks parents/guardians enlisted in the military.
