If you don’t think your student’s Impact Aid Survey makes a difference, think again.
Last year, Ledyard qualified for nearly $900,000 in federal funding through the Impact Aid grant. Whether or not you live on or work on federal property doesn’t matter, all students must complete the form for the district to qualify.
Impact Aid benefits everyone in town. The sole purpose of the grant is to alleviate the tax burden on communities that lose revenue on federal tax-exempt properties in their jurisdiction. In Ledyard, these properties and employers include the US Navy, the US Coast Guard Academy, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the Mohegan Tribe, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Over 800 Ledyard Public School students are in these categories because they live on, or their parents work on, such properties.
Please submit your form.
We all benefit.
