2010 Census Information
Wednesday, 17 February 2010 18:35
What is the U.S. census?Every 10 years, the government reports the number of people who live in the United States
by conducting a count called the census. This count is required by the U.S. Constitution.
Why is the U.S. census count necessary?
Census data are used to determine the number of representatives your state receives in the U.S.
Congress, as well as your county’s representation in the state legislature. Government agencies
use the data to make funding decisions for more than $300 billion each year, including:
- Title 1 allocations
- College grant and loan programs
- Public transportation
- Road and community improvements
- Public health services and hospitals
- Neighborhood improvements
- Senior services
How is the 2010 Census taken? - Census questionnaires are given to everyone living in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- The information is collected in two ways: by a questionnaire that is sent to every home, and through confidentiality-bound census workers who travel door-to-door.
Planning a Trip - Attendance

Planning a Trip?
Going to school is your child’s “job,” and attendance is key! However, sometimes families need to travel during the school year. If trips cannot be scheduled during school holidays, parents should obtain an independent study contract for their child(ren).
What is an Independent Study Contract?
An independent study contract allows students to earn academic credit, meet attendance requirements, and keep current in the classroom. Also, the District does not lose funding. A student in ANY grade level may use an independent study contract.
