Wednesday was one of two Student Count Days scheduled for each school year.
That day’s count will contribute to determining 75 percent of the state’s annual foundation allowance. The other 25 percent will be factored in based on the Feb. 9, 2011, Student Count Day.
Below is a comparison between the fall count dates last week and in 2009, as well as how much is contributed from the state per student.
