Census 2020
The COVID-19 crisis is having a major impact on our daily lives, communities, and the 2020 Census field operations. Although the Census may not seem important at this time, responses to the Census determine political representation and how resources will be distributed to communities for the next 10 years. 
Each person counted in the Census brings approximately $2,000 each year to our communities for education, healthcare, emergency services, roads and bridges, and community supports like nutrition, housing, heating, and employment. Census data also drives business decisions, such as where to invest in cellular and broadband infrastructure . 
 
Photo of stadium lights GCS Joining in National Tribute to Seniors
Greene Central School will be joining the National Federation of  State High Schools in a tribute to seniors. They have asked schools all over the country to turn on their field lights at 8:20 (20:20 military time) for 20 min. and 20 sec. as a tribute to the class of 2020. This is in support of all the opportunities they have missed this year. We will turn on our stadium lights each weeknight at 8:20 in support of the GCS class of 2020. This is just one more inexpensive way the district can show our support for our graduating class.
