Impact Aid Student-Parent Survey

Each year, the presence of federal activity in Virginia affects Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) operating budget.  The school system is requesting your assistance in identifying federally connected students for the Impact Aid federal grant program.  FCPS uses the Student-Parent Survey to complete this effort.  Beginning October 30, 2009, the survey will be distributed to all FCPS families and available online (PDF format).

Impact Aid is a federal grant program that was designed to lessen the impact of federal activity on the operating budgets of local school systems.  FCPS receives approximately $3,500,000 annually from this grant program.  These funds become a part of the school system’s general operating budget and are critical to sustaining the high quality of education that FCPS provides for your children.

For each school-age student in your household, please complete,, sign, and date the survey  and return the completed survey to your child’s school by November 6, 2009.  The information that you provide will be treated confidentially.

If you need additional information, please call 703-329-7655 to speak with a Department of Information Technology staff member.  Additional information about the Impact Aid program is available on the U.S. Department of Education web site at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/impactaid/index.html.
