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. In oth er
news from the meeting:

report on the National Indian Education Association conference.
Students gave a report on
their experience at the N a
tional Indian Education As
sociation Conference, held in
the fall in O klahom a City.
Students who. attended the
c o n fe re n c e fro m W arm
Springs were G avin Begay,
K eeyana Yellowman, Lana
Shike, A nna D e Cora, Lisa
Ik e L o p e z , Ja z m in e Ike
L opez, T riston Sm ith, and
Rich Danzuka.
Lisa Ike Lopez, a senior at
Madras High School, said the
conference gave her a better
sense o f the value o f higher
education.
Native Americans face'the
challenge o f living within the
Native culture while pursuing
higher education, she said.
The conference, Ike Lopez
said, “Made me w ant to get a
better education. We can go
far. . We can keep our culture
and become more educated.”
Jazm ine Ike Lopez said
the conference was interest-:
ing because she got to meet
N ativ e A m ericah students
from many different parts o f
the U.S,, and they could com
pare th e issues facing the
people o f their reservations.
