2024-25 Attendance Accounting and Instructional Time Webinar

You are receiving this message because you have subscribed to the Principal Apportionment (PASE) Listserv.

On Wednesday, August 14, 2024, the School Fiscal Services Division (SFSD) hosted a webinar to provide a general overview of instructional time requirements, the methods for claiming average daily attendance (ADA), the process a local educational agency (LEA) should follow to recapture lost attendance or instructional time credit in the case of an emergency event, known as the Form J-13A, and the conditions of apportionment for programs such as independent study and transitional kindergarten.

This webinar also addressed additional changes from the 2024–25 Budget Act that will be effective for the 2025–26 fiscal year, and that LEAs should begin planning for, including:

• Attendance Recovery – a new program to recoup lost attendance for apportionment and chronic absenteeism as an alternative to Saturday school.
• New requirements for instructional continuity to mitigate instructional disruption during an emergency event, and required modifications to the Comprehensive School Safety Plan.
