Every ten years, as required by the Constitution, the federal government counts the population, and uses that information to determine which areas of the country should get the most federal funding.
Among other things, census data is used to draw legislative districts, allocate money to hospitals, and figure out how to best arrange emergency services and public-works projects.
And just as importantly, census data helps make sure that our schools get the resources and funding they need.
If you haven’t already, please take a moment to fill out your census form. It’s short, easy, and will play a huge part in determining how our schools are funded for the next ten years!
You can click here for more information about the census, but you’ll need to fill out the form that was sent to your mailing address in the last few weeks.
We all have a part to play in ensuring that all New York’s children get the best education possible. This is just one small part of the fight, but it’s an important one. Please make sure to complete and return your census form!
