High School Students Get Swag on Count Day,[url=http://parajumperssalefreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumperssalefreeshipping.webmium.com/[/b][/url]
Once a year, Detroit Public Schools pulls out all the stops to get students in their seats.
In 2010,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]authentic roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url], the district enticed students with a total of $20,000 in Target gift cards. The prize for attendance in 2009: a shot to win a laptop,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]Roger Vivier Boots Outlet[/b][/url], iPod, or 42-inch flat screen TV.
This year, every Detroit public high school student who shows up to school on Oct. 3 will be rewarded with a free pair of Nikes,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]Cheap Roger Vivier Boots Sale Online[/b][/url], courtesy of a local shoe store.
The reason for all the swag: Count Day. The number of students in attendance for the entirety of count day in the fall determines 90 percent of per-pupil state funding for Michigan public school districts. The other 10 percent is determined by a second count day in the winter.
"Count information is critical to districts, because each student translates into state funding,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/[/b][/url]," according to the Michigan Department of Education.
Per-pupil funding varies by district in Michigan,[url=http://parajumpersjacketsstores.blogspot.com/][b]parajumpers jackets store[/b][/url], with a minimum payout of close to $7,000 per student,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada outlet shop[/b][/url], and schools across the state woo students with pizza parties,[url=http://giuseppezanottimenssneakers.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers men[/b][/url], raffles, and giveaways to ensure they max out their state funding.
Basing school funding on attendance numbers from only one or two days out of the school year provides funding stability for districts,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy online piumini duvetica outlet duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url], but it can also "create perverse financial incentives to not retain students after the count date,[url=http://giuseppezanottimenssneakers.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers men Winter[/b][/url]," according to a March 2012 report by the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University Days are not exclusive to Michigan. At least 10 states determine school funding using a single count day Colorado, Connecticut,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/[/b][/url], Nevada,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/[/b][/url], and Iowa. And Northeast Academy Charter School in Denver turned to gift cards in 2010 to attract new students prior to Count Day, according to a local CBS station.
Northeast Academy's move was effective. The school enrolled at least 10 new students, thus increasing its state funding, the station reported.
"[It is]more efficient. It means more income,[url=http://discountsoccercleatsonline.webmium.com/][b]discount soccer cleats online Footwear Soccer Cleats Soccer Shoes[/b][/url], same expenses," Joseph Arlinghaus, director of advancement at the academy,[url=http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/[/b][/url], told the TV station.
That mentality is just one of the concerns critics have about Count Day.
Measuring average daily attendance for the school year or taking student counts over an extended time period gives states a more accurate portrayal of the funding needed in each district, experts say.
That reasoning prompted New Jersey to move away from a system of using a single Count Day this year,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]billig Moncler Jacken Damen Weste Moncler Jacken Outlet Österreich[/b][/url], with Governor Chris Christie's office calling it a "common sense" move.
