The Socorro ISD will conduct its annual Impact Aid Census on October 27. The census is the way in which the District files its claim each year for Impact Aid funds allowed for under Public Law 103-382, Title VIII. This law allows for partial replacement funding for lost property tax revenue due to military installations and other federal property in or near the District. Students whose parents work on federal property (i.e. a Border Patrol station, Indian casino, Fort Bliss, La Tuna Federal Correction Institute, etc.) or are active duty military either living in non-military housing or military housing will have forms that qualify for funds.

Identifying federally connected families is possible only by surveying each student’s parents, collecting the data and submitting the qualifying forms to the Federal Government.

“We are asking all of our parents to complete the census forms and return to their child’s school by November 6th,” said Patrick O’Neill, Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services. “We want to make sure that we receive the maximum benefit from this effort.”

Impact Aid funds received by the District are added to the general fund and are used in accordance with local and State requirements. Some Impact Aid funds must be used for specific purposes outlined by the Federal Government.
