Did you know that St. Mary's County Public Schools receives federal funding through "Impact Aid"? This is based on the premise that local school districts are impacted by the absence of revenue because of non-taxable federal property and the increase in cost due to federally connected students. It is important to note that if a federally connected student is not counted, the district will receive less Impact Aid funding. For your information, a FAQ document about Impact Aid from the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools has been attached.

PLEASE MAKE TIME TO COMPLETE THE IMPACT AID FORM.

Online Federal Impact Aid Forms are now available through the Home Access Center (HAC). Once logged in, directions to access the online Impact Aid form can be found HERE. A video with instructions is available HERE. The form can now be accessed in Spanish by clicking on the Globe in the top right-hand corner once the form has been started.
