October Count 2008

The official student membership count day for all Colorado public school districts is October 1st. This is the source of approximately 90 percent of the district's revenue. Accurate identification of all students who are eligible to be included in the official membership, as well as those not eligible for inclusion, plays a crucial role in the allocation of district resources.
