October 1

October 1st is a very important day for school districts in the State of Utah.  Every year on October 1st the Utah State Office of Education verifies the total number of students in each district.   The numbers from the October 1st count determine the amount of funding each district will receive from the State of Utah.  Each student enrolled in the district on October 1st will generate one WPU. The WPU represents the Weighted Pupil Unit.  The WPU was started by the Utah State Office of Education in 1973.  At that time, the WPU value for each student was $508; the WPU for 2011 was $2,816.  The WPU has multiple sections one is called the regular WPU, this relates to the regular education students receive.  The amount for the WPU is $2,842 for each student.  This year the Garfield School District has an increase of 21 new students in the District on the October 1st count.  This increase is the largest we have experienced in the District since 2003.  I have included the student numbers for each school from 2001 to present.
