Counting ALL BERKS COUNTY STUDENTS in the 2020 Census is important to ensure that Berks County receives the federal dollars that impact special education, free and reduced-price lunch, class size reduction, classroom technology, teacher training, pre-school and after school programs. Money based upon the Census count also impacts health care, federal road construction, job training, etc.
Census postcards should arrive in homes in the next few weeks which will provide directions for online completion of the Census. Please encourage the families with whom you work to complete this ten-question survey. There are no citizenship questions. Data will not be linked to individuals and will be kept confidential. Families can visit any Berks County Library location for free access to WiFi, computers or technology assistance.
Please share the PDF flyers and post information on your website and social media. Here are some samples of social media posts you can use or edit.
