Schools all over Mid-Michigan are finding incentives for children to show up for school on Student Count Day. 75% of the Flint Community schools budget is typically what the $8,000 per child present in state funding gives. Even though Flint Administrators expect the budget to drop, they are being optimistic with a goal of 11,000 students which would be roughly a drop of 1,200-1,500 students. Durant - Tuuri - Mott Elementary school had 98% of their 530 students showed up. For the students who were not able to make it to school, there is another count day in February.
