Local schools enrollments show little change in second Count Day
Local schools reported little change in enrollment from their fall count numbers on second Count Day of the school year Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Each year, the state requires school districts to hold two Count Days one in October and one in February. These counts are used to determine how much funding districts get from the state as schools are given state funding for each student.
In a typical year, the fall count determines 90 percent of a school’s per-pupil funding and the remaining 10 percent comes from the winter count. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year is different.
