The Federal Impact Aid Program is authorized by Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It has existed since 1950. The program provides funding aid to partially reimburse school districts that lose revenue (income, sales or property taxes) due to the presence of tax-free federal properties (i.e., low-income housing, military installations/housing, Native American lands, national parks). The reimbursement helps make up for some of the cost of educating so-called federally connected students, those whose parents live on or work on federal properties. 

ʻAe. Hoʻolako kālā ʻia nā kula me nā haumāna pili federally ma ke ʻano like me nā kula me nā haumāna pili federally. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kālā Impact Aid e hiki ai i ka ʻōnaehana kula ke hāʻawi i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka lawelawe no nā haumāna āpau ma mua o ka hiki.

These federal reimbursements for a portion of the cost of serving federally connected students are critical in supporting all Hawaiʻi public schools and students. Historically, funding has offset costs for Hawaiʻi Common Core-aligned curriculum resources, student transportation, school utilities (electricity), teacher substitutes, the Military Liaison program, school portables and other services. If not for the receipt of these federal funds, the Hawaiʻi school system would have $40 million to $50 million less a year to operate with, and would need to reduce support for all schools to pay all its expenses.

• Noho ma ka ʻāina federal
• Active duty military, including National Guards and Reservists on active duty, and foreign military
• Ke hana nei ma nā ʻāina federal

ʻO ka ʻike ma ka pepa i hoʻopiha ʻia e kōkua i ka hoʻoholo inā noho kekahi makua/mākua a hana paha ma ka waiwai federal.

Mahalo nui ʻia kāu kākoʻo i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka palapala noiʻi e nā kula e hoʻokō i kā lākou pahuhopu.

Every Hawaiʻi public school and each student benefits from the federal Impact Aid funding. Please see: “How does the Department use Impact Aid funds?” above.

Ma Hawaiʻi, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā kālā i nā kula ma muli o ke kākau inoa ʻana a me nā pono o kēlā me kēia haumāna. ʻO nā kālā Impact Aid he kōkua maʻamau no nā lilo o ka mokuʻāina.

In the 2022-23 school year, Hawaiʻi public schools benefited from more than $46.78 million in federal Impact Aid, thanks to more than 22,100 families who filled out their survey form. In Hawaiʻi, Impact Aid helps offset costs for school materials and resources, substitute teachers, student transportation, school utilities such as electricity, and other services at schools statewide.

Parents of Hawaiʻi public school students are encouraged to complete and return the Federal Impact Aid Program survey form to their school. Surveys should be filled out and returned as soon as they are received, however, schools will accept them throughout the school year. If you have not received the survey form, please contact your child’s school.

There are no DOD schools in Hawaiʻi, including those on military installations. All public schools are part of the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education.

The school your child can attend will depend on where you will live. Please contact your service’s school liaison officer.

Your child is required to attend the school in the geographic area of your residential location. Requests to remain in a school outside of your housing area will be considered by your child’s current school principal. The principal’s decision is most often based on school capacity. For example, some schools serve the newly arrived children residing in temporary lodging facilities (TLF) in addition to military family housing residents within the school geographic area. When families move out of TLF into permanent housing, the school must then accommodate the new families in TLF.
