Wednesday is a very important day to make sure your kids get to school.

It's student count day.

Twice a year, districts have to count all the kids they have and turn that information into the state.

That number determines how much funding they get -- it's called per-pupil funding.

Each student earns the school several thousand dollars for educational costs.
