Census Bureau Enlists Students For 2020 Count

geralt/Pixabay

How many of us are there?  We'll know later this year, when results of the 2020 federal census begin rolling in. 

The Census Bureau is mustering a wide array of resources, including a program communicating the importance of the census to children in school.  The Statistics in Schools program (SIS) launched earlier in the school year, and it gives teachers and students tools to work on projects demonstrating the importance of the census and the information it collects.  Victoria Glasier manages SIS and checks in for a visit.
