October Count - Attendance Counts for Funding!
- October Count is the official student membership headcount for all Colorado public school districts. When students are enrolled, scheduled and in attendance as of the official count day, the district receives an average of $8,400 in per pupil operating revenue. This submission accounts for 85% of the district’s funding. In turn, schools receive funding for each student fully enrolled and in attendance.
- Inspire Elementary needs all students to be on time and present every day during the October Count period. This year's count begins on September 24th and ends on October 8th. October Count is crucial as it determines our school’s funding. Your child’s attendance during this time directly impacts the resources we can provide to support their education.
