All school and district leaders and urged to remind parents and staff about the dire need to complete the 2020 Census. There are only 15 days left to meet the September 30 deadline to complete the 2020 Census.
In 2010, Mississippi’s Census completion rate was 61.3%, and the state lost a congressional seat and millions in federal money.
As of today, Mississippi’s completion rate is 59.3%. Our state risks losing millions in federal funds if all our citizens are not counted.
