2020 U.S. Census and Education

Census Self-Response Phase Extended

The self-response phase for household responses to the U.S. Census has been extended to Aug. 14 due to the disruption caused by the novel coronavirus. Through this date, the public is strongly encouraged to respond online. Options for responding by phone or mail are also available.

Census Resources for School and District Leaders

To assist local communities to prepare for the 2020 Census, CDE has created toolkits with relevant resources for school and district leaders and educators.

Colorado educators and education leaders can expect resources to build awareness of the census in the fall of 2019 and resources for supporting participation in early 2020.

CDE is also working with the state's Complete Count Committee to develop and disseminate communication resources and enable local complete count committees to meet local needs.
