Just curious

What is the name of your state? Colorado


I was pulled over for speeding today (30th) in a school zone. The school is not open at this time due to remodeling so the "school zone" flashing lights weren't on. The officer told me I was going 30 in a 20 but wrote on the ticket 36 in a 20. He also wrote the date as 11/28. Would this make the ticket void?

The date of the offense is not an element of the offense, so no, it does not make it void.

It may, in fact, matter what date it was for your defense. If school was indeed closed, and flashing light was not on, you can confirm this with school (don't know if they were the ones who turned the flashing light off), bring the document to court, get the ticket dismissed based on invalid speed limit.

Whats the normal non-schoolday speed limit. How fast were you going... the 30mph?
