An accurate census count of all the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods in our country brings critical funding and resources to our schools and communities. Funding for smaller class sizes, more teachers and support staff, students with special needs, and schools in low-income areas—it’s all based on census data.

So, an accurate census is key to getting public schools and communities the resources they need to serve all students—regardless of who they live with, what language they speak at home, or whether they are black, brown, or white.
