The Colorado House Education Committee has passed a bill onto the house floor that changes the state’s ‘student-count’ funding day to avoid conflicts with religious holidays.

Colorado’s Oct. 1st count day is used by school districts to establish funding for individual schools. If children are absent on that day, they’re not included in a school’s roster, and the school may not receive funding for that child.
