I know that last year here in Virginia we were asked to fill out cards and return them to the county as to how many school-age children were in the house. It specifically asked that we include all children whether they were educated in the home or privately. The card also indicated that school funding was based on the total number of kids in the district.

That must be a county/district thing - because I never received anything like that.

I'm going to check tomorrow and will post what I find out. I thought it was a state thing.

But I do remember that I had never gotten anything like that before or since (my kids were in 8th and 10th grade at the time) and I thought I had heard something about it being a census done every x years. I just don't remember the "x"
