The 2010 Census is Coming: Be Counted!

Each year more than $400 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on Census data. This month, the US Census Bureau will provide all households with a 10 question survey aimed at gathering accurate population data. The questionnaire will ask questions such as name, gender, age, race and ethnicity, for each person living at the property address. The questionnaire does not ask for personal information or citizenship status. The 2010 Census has a direct impact on funding for our schools. During these tight budget times it is especially important that every member of our community is counted. Complete your Census and remember, it’s safe, it’s easy, it’s important, and everyone counts.
