Census questionnaires will be mailed or delivered to every household in the United States in March 2010.  Data from the Census determines the distribution of Congressional seats and impacts decisions regarding services for the elderly, where to build new roads and schools, where to locate job training centers, and how to distribute $300-400 billion in federal funds.  For more information, please go to http://www.census.gov/schools/ .
