The superintendent of the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District, Jon Ray has held a variety of high-level positions in school districts across California including principal and school administrator. In addition to his duties as superintendent, John Ray maintains membership in a number of professional organizations, including the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS).
Founded in 1973, the NAFIS is a non-profit organization that represents school districts across the United States and works to ensure the schools, and the federally connected children that attend them, receive adequate funding (impact aid) to meet their needs. Federally impacted property includes Indian reservations, military bases, subsidized housing projects and other property owned by the federal government. The children who live on these properties with their parents are considered to be federally connected.
Impact aid is distributed through grants to local education agencies based on the total amount of
Federal property within their jurisdiction and/or the total number of federally connected children in their schools. Nationwide, approximately 1,350 agencies representing more than 950,000 federally connected children receive some type of Impact Aid.
