Richland School District Two is eligible to apply for federal Impact Aid money due to the strong federal presence in our area and the tax exemptions provided to federally-connected personnel, businesses, and agencies. Impact Aid is a federal program designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected children. Federally-connected students are children of active duty uniformed forces personnel, children who live on federal property, and children whose parents work on federal property. We need your help identifying students with federal connections. This year, you can fill out the form online by logging into your Parent Portal account. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete and must be completed for each of our children. Please complete the survey as soon as possible as the deadline is Saturday, January 15, 2022.
