If you don’t think submitting your student’s Impact Aid form makes a difference, think again.
Last year, Ledyard qualified for nearly $900,000 in federal funding through the Impact Aid Grant. All students must complete the form for the district to qualify for the funding.
The sole purpose of the grant is to alleviate the tax burden on communities such as Ledyard, for revenue lost on federal tax-exempt properties in their jurisdiction. 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.
Thank you,
Jason Hartling
Superintendent
