School census

CHRISTIANSBURG - Montgomery County School Public Schools will conduct a school census through July 15. The statewide census is mandated by law. Results determine the distribution of one percent of state sales tax funds which are returned to localities for school division use.

Census takers will count all children ages 5 through 19, using door-to-door canvassing to complete the survey. Parents will be asked to provide the name, age and birthdate of every child in the family.

The census takers will have ID badges and a letter from the superintendent. The school division's funding is directly related to the thoroughness of the census. so citizen cooperation in collecting data is important.

For more information about the census in Montgomery County, call Judith B. Rutherford, director of student services, at the School Board office at 382-5100.
