Lansing (WWJ/AP) -- Will this week's anticipated snowstorm put Student Count Day...down for the count?
State education officials issued a memo Monday telling school districts they can conduct student counts the next scheduled day of classes. Wednesday is the official day, but the National Weather Service has called for several inches of snow Tuesday and Wednesday across the state.
Accuweather's Dean Devore puts the total at 6-10 inches.
Each district receives more than $7,300 in state aid per student, with Wednesday's scheduled count determining 25 percent of their funding from the state. September's student count determines the other 75 percent.
