When funds are appropriated by the United States Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD) is able to provide financial assistance to eligible Local Education Agencies (i.e., school districts) serving military dependent children through three DoD Impact Aid programs:
The DoD Impact Aid programs are distinct from the U.S. Department of Education Impact Aid program, which provides funding to compensate for all federal tax-exempt property, such as Indian lands, national parks, DoD bases and public housing.
The Department of Defense Education Activity’s (DoDEA) Educational Partnership Branch is responsible for administering the DoD Impact Aid programs, consistent with its mission of developing, promoting and maintaining partnerships and communications with local school districts to improve student achievement.
