The second “Count Day” of the 2015-2016 school year is Wednesday, February 10.  All public schools in Michigan tally the number of students attending their schools twice a year – once in early October and once in February.      

     The February 10 count represents the remaining 10 percent of state funding for a public school district.  The earlier count in the fall represented 90 percent.  It is always important to be in school for learning but on February 10, each student translates into state funding for the district they are attending.

     If school is cancelled for any reason on February 10, count day will be the first day students are scheduled to return to school after the cancelled day.   

     Parents are encouraged to make every effort to ensure their children are in school on Count Day.
