JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Each year Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley County School Districts conduct a pupil survey to count how many students are federally connected.
The school system is paid by the federal government in lieu of property taxes based on the number of federally connected students. Since Federal properties are exempt from local taxation, the assistance received helps replace local taxes required for operating schools and constructing school buildings.
Collection of this information is required by Federal regulations. It is important that federally connected parents complete the form for every pupil in area schools whether or not the parent or guardian is living or working on Federal property.
Upon completion please ensure your child returns it to his or her teacher. The information provided will be kept strictly confidential.
