Federal Impact Aid form

October 6, 2023

On October 5, parents and guardians of CMCSS will receive an electronic Federal Impact Aid form.

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 with federally owned lands (such as Fort Campbell, government buildings, TVA steam plants, subsidized housing, etc.). 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 form 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 5, 2023 . The form is confidential and has no effect on personal taxes or those living in subsidized housing.
