The Federal Impact Aid Program Survey is designed to assist local school districts who have lost revenue due to Federal properties exemption from local property taxes. Financial assistance is determined by calculating the concentration of students who reside on military bases, low-rent housing properties, Indian lands, and other Federal properties, have parents in the uniformed services, or have parents employed on eligible Federal properties.
In Hawai‘i, Federal Impact Aid helps offset costs for school materials and resources, substitute teachers, student transportation, school utilities such as electricity, and other services at schools statewide. All students and schools benefit from Impact Aid.
The Hawai‘i State Department of Education (HIDOE) Federal Impact Aid Program Survey date for SY 2024-2025 is scheduled for September 4, 2024. Students will be issued the survey cards on this date. Parents are asked to complete the survey cards and return them to the school with your child by FRIDAY, September 6, 2024.
