School attendance is important every day, but attendance on Count Day determines school funding and state resources. Count information is critical to districts, because each student translates into state funding.
The count days and school funding are mandated through the State School Aid Act.
The count dates are first Wednesday in October and the second Wednesday in February. More info at https://www.michigan.gov/mde/-/media/Project/Websites/mde/OFM/State-Aid/Pupil-Accounting/Student-Count-Day-and-School-Funding-Information.pdf?rev=36df8476d1af4a06ae54233c277fac72&hash=4A91923B6B42FEE5A99686805B2E6C36
