NYC School Funding
The NYC Census will start on 3/12 and it is very important that families fill it out so NYC schools get their fair share of $650 Billion in Federal Funding. This funding directly impacts school programs like Head Start, special education, bilingual education, classroom technology, teacher training, preschool and after-school programs, and school lunch assistance services.
All responses are confidential, protected by law, and cannot be used against you in any way. The census does not ask about: immigration status, income, or your social security number.
