	Mayor Bloomberg Details City's Ongoing Efforts to Ensure All New Yorkers Are Counted in 2010 Census Mayor Bloomberg, Schools Chancellor Klein and City Census Coordinator Stacey Cumberbatch today detailed the City's efforts to ensure a full and accurate count of all New York City residents in the 2010 Census and encouraged City schools to highlight the "Census in Schools" curriculum over the next two weeks as census forms are arriving in the mail. Last April, Mayor Bloomberg signed an executive order creating, for the first time in City history, a New York City Census Office, which has been working closely with the U.S. Census Bureau and forming local partnerships across the City with community organizations, cultural and educational institutions, faith-based organizations, immigrant advocacy groups and others to spread the word that all New Yorkers have something to gain by filling out the census form and nothing to lose as all information is kept confidential, in accordance with Federal law.
