Federal Impact Aid Survey
Impact Aid programs and grants are designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible for federal Impact Aid grants due to the federal presence in our area. The grants from these programs will become part of FCPS' general operating budget. They are critical to ensuring that students receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3,000,000 in Impact Aid funds.
FCPS uses the survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students. In October, the survey will be made available to FCPS families. The survey is available online through ParentVue. Families without ParentVUE can request a paper copy of the survey from their child's school. FCPS staff will process the information with the utmost confidentiality.
Below are the visual steps for a parent to get to the survey in SIS ParentVue.
Steps to Access the Survey in ParentVue
Only the enrolling parent can access SIS ParentVue through https://sisparent.fcps.edu/.
The 'Online Packets' tab is located in the top right of the ParentVue screen.
The survey is one of several packets. Make sure the parent is selecting the correct option for the Federal Impact Aid Survey from the dropdown menu located under the descriptions for all the packets.
The 'Begin Registration' button is in the bottom center of the screen.
Use of Impact Aid Funds
Federal Impact Aid provides revenue to local education agencies to mitigate costs of educating children in areas impacted by federal activity. The Impact Aid policy was designed to compensate local school districts for the local funding share that is reduced or eliminated because of a Federal presence that is not taxable. School districts with federal lands, military installations, federal low-rent housing or Indian Trust land within their boundaries lose local revenues. Impact Aid is designed to compensate school districts for this lost revenue. Impact Aid goes into the general fund and is intended to offset the costs (e.g. staff, facilities, and transportation) associated with educating military dependent children and other special groups.
