Census 2020
By now, all residents in Islip should have received a letter from the
U.S. Census Bureau with instructions to complete the 2020 Census
questionnaire online, as well as a Census ID for the household.
Completing
the U.S. Census is one of the most important steps a parent and the
community can take to secure the future of the District's students. Your
responses ensure accurate counts which will set funding levels for
schools, special education services, health insurance, food distribution
programs, and much more for the next TEN YEARS. If the District is
undercounted, it would mean less funding from the federal government and
less representation in the House of Representative, lessening the
community's voice. Therefore, when completing the Census, it is
important to count EVERYONE in your household, including infants and
toddlers.
Every child on Long Island deserves the opportunity to
succeed. By taking ten minutes to complete the 2020 U.S. Census, you are
helping provide them with that chance. If you have questions before you
begin, please visit the Help & FAQs page of the U.S. Census website
for more information.
