Support School Funding on October Count Day!
It's official - October Count Day this year is Wednesday, October 1!
The most important action you can take to support school funding is to make sure your student attends school on that day. Much of public education funding from the Colorado
Department of Education is based on student count, so we encourage you to make sure your student comes to school that day.
