Spilyay T ym o o , W arm Springs, O regon Page 2 School board, members discuss Impact Aid T h e J e f fe rs o n C o u n ty School D istrict 509-J has re ceived only 45 percent o f the Im pact Aid funding for the 2012-13 school year. Usually by this time in the year, the district would have received up to 85 percent o f th e fu n d in g , said R ick Molitor, superintendent. Holding up the transfer o f the funds to the district is the federal fiscal cliff situation: U nsure o f their upcom ing budget, federal officials are h o ld in g th e Im p a c t A id m oney until it is clear how much will eventually be trans ferred, Molitor said. The am ount o f money is large for the district: The to tal Im pact Aid payment ex pected for 2012-13 is $2.4 million. This represents about 25 teaching positions. This news came during the school district Im pact Aid meeting in Warm Springs on Monday. O n a more positive note, M olitor said, there- is some indication that the dis trict could receive 70 percent o f Im pact Aid funds in the near future. Federal Im pact Aid assists U.S. school districts that see reduced property tax revenue due to the presence o f tax- exempt property such as In dian reservations.
