LANSING, MI — Wednesday was the first of two student ‘Count Days’ across Michigan for this year. ‘Count Days’ are when schools record their enrollment to ensure they are receiving as much funding as possible from the state of Michigan. Public schools across the state count their students to figure out funding. Schools this year will get around $8700 per student.
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the 2020 ‘Count Days,’ state officials said. In the past, a formula existed to count students online versus in-person. However, this year the formula does not exist.
Schools across the state Wednesday held pizza parties and other special events for students to encourage attendance.
