We are excited to announce that Loudon County Schools is partnering with the United States Census Bureau to support the 2020 Census. As a partner, we will be working to make sure our community is accurately represented in the upcoming decennial count. The census counts everyone in the United States. Census results are the basis for congressional representation and help determine how more that $675 billion in federal funds is distributed each year to support vital programs in states and communities across the country. These funds shape local health care, housing, education, transportation, employment, and public policy. With an accurate population count for our county, we will ensure that Loudon County citizens will be able to maximize federal funds for our schools, health care, and other community needs. We desire to have an accurate 2020 Census for Loudon County, TN, that will be vital in government decisions regarding distribution of federal funds. For more information: census.gov.
