Impact Aid Student-Parent Survey

Impact Aid funding, just like local levy funds, helps to provide important funding for teachers, support staff, classroom computers, library books, and other supplies and equipment for Mad River.

Section 7003 grants help educate federally connected children. These may be children of members of the uniformed services, children who live on Indian lands, children who live on federal property or federally subsidized low-rent housing, and children whose parent(s) work on federal property.
As a military community, Mad River receives annual Impact Aid grants from the Federal Department of Education, which contribute to enriching the educational opportunities of all our students. The amount we receive is based on the number of students who have parents that work or live on federal properties such as Wright-Patt.

Impact Aid Student-Parent surveys are sent out annually.

Identification of Military-Connected Students

With the adoption of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), military-connected students are now recognized as a distinct subgroup, including students with a parent who is a member of the Armed Forces (defined in section 101(a)(1)(4) of title 10, United States Code) on active duty (as defined in section 101(d)(5) of such title.

More than 80 percent of military-connected students attend U.S. public schools. Students with parents/guardians who serve full-time in the military move and change schools frequently. In addition, they experience separation from a parent/guardian due to their parents’ service to the U.S. Military.
The Military Student Identifier (MSI) (which is often completed during student enrollment) provides educators with critical information to personalize attention to military-dependent children.
