UMS Is Counting on You!
Census forms will arrive in the mail at every household in the United States any day now. It is critical to school funding and decisions about where to build new schools that you participate by returning your form by Census Day, April 1st.
With only 10 questions, the census questionnaire only takes a few moments to complete. It asks a few simple questions of each person—name, relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns or rents his/her home.
All responses are strictly confidential. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share your personal responses with anyone—not even other government agencies.
Please do your part by filling out the form when it arrives and mailing it back. After April 1st, Census takers will go door to door to reach those who didn’t mail back the form.
For more information about the census, visit www.2010census.gov.
