Census 2020 Opens April 1
The federal census occurs every 10 years, and it dictates how much federal funding PA receives, which then impacts how much federal funding SCSD receives. For EACH person who is not counted in the census, PA loses $20K in funding over the next 10 years. Therefore, it is very important for all PA residents to complete the census. Federal dollars support special education costs, Title I programs, Title II programs, Head Start, and other programs related to technology, teacher training, etc. Beyond the District, the census impacts funding for roads, hospitals, parks, etc.
