Count Day – Virtual 18 and under • Documenting Count Days Attendance • Virtual School Sample Forms for documenting count day time • On-line: printout from computer system showing amount of time student was logged in • Off-line: documented with an Academic Activity Log • Log must be signed by student, or student’s guardian if they are younger than 18 • Logs must be signed by November 1 • On-site: documented by sign in/sign out sheets showing when the student attended
Count Day – Virtual 19+ • The only date that matter in determining 19 and over vs. 18 and under is September 20 (regardless of when it falls)… if a student is 19 on September 20, they are funded as a 19+ Virtual student • There essentially is no count day • Students are funded based on credits completed (July 1-June 30) • Still need to send an ENRL record for headcount purposes • Minutes Enrolled = 360
