Medical Lake School District- YES WE CAN!
We are excited to share that the State of the District video is now available. This video provides a comprehensive overview of our first year of progress toward achieving the key performance indicators outlined in the Medical Lake School District's Strategic Plan and Promises.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to watch the video by clicking the link above and learn more about how our district is making a positive impact on our students' lives.
Medical Lake School District receives federal funding through the Impact Aid program to offset the loss of property tax revenue due to the presence of Fairchild Air Force Base. This funding makes up approximately 8% ($2.7 million) of our district's annual budget, supporting essential educational programs and services for every child in our district.
To ensure we continue receiving this vital funding, it's crucial that families complete the federal aid card that will be distributed to all households on October 1st.
If you would like to learn more about Impact Aid and what it funds in Medical Lake, please see the images below or feel free to contact me at (509) 565-3125. Thank you for your support!
It takes just a few minutes to complete the Impact Aid card. We do need one for each student as the funding is based on the total student count. Funding is provided in a few basic categories:
- Those who live on base and work on base (Uniformed Services or Civilian employee).
- Those who live off base and work on base (Uniformed Services or Civilian employee).
In order for us to be sure that we count every eligible student, the federal government requires that we receive a signed card for every student in our district, whether you meet the specifically funded categories or not. We periodically are audited by the United States Departments of Education and/or Defense to ensure the accuracy of the data we provide.
Cards will be coming home with students on Tuesday, October 1st. We really appreciate your assistance in this matter.
