Attendance Reporting Reminder: P-1 Attendance Reports must be certified by the district no later than Thursday, January 8, 2026.
The Principal Apportionment Data Collection (PADC) Web Application is now available for reporting 2025-26 First Principal Apportionment (P-1) data on the California Department of Education (CDE) website at pas.cde.ca.gov/. The following 2025-26 P-1 data is due by Thursday, January 8, 2026:
* Attendance * Necessary Small School * Adults in Correctional Facilities * Special Education Local Plan Area Average Daily Attendance Allocation * Special Education Tax Allocation * Infant Funding * Charter School Physical Location * Transfer of Funds Alternative Rate Option
Attendance Recovery ADA: Line B-8 is a new informational reporting line in 2025-26 (Other Tab (Section B)) for students participating in Attendance Recovery pursuant to EC 46211<leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=46211.&lawCode=EDC>. ADA generated through an Attendance Recovery program should be included in Section A or in the Attendance Supplement School District, Attendance Basic Aid Choice/Court-Ordered Voluntary Pupil Transfer, and Attendance Basic Aid Open Enrollment entry screens and reported separately on Line B-8.
Attendance Recovery (AR) programs are voluntary programs that enable TK/K-12 students to recoup up to ten absences for the purpose of apportionment per year by attending supplementary sessions outside of the regularly scheduled school day. School districts, county offices of education and classroom-based charter schools may choose to offer an AR program to eligible students who are enrolled in classroom-based programs before or after school, during weekends, or on intersession breaks.
LEAs must track and report AR ADA separately from ADA generated during the regular school day. Make-up attendance generated through AR is included in the regular ADA totals at P-1, P-2, and Annual. It is also reported on a separate line for informational purposes.
AR ADA can only be reported for attendance that meets the applicable minimum day requirement under EC Section 46211(e)<leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=46211.&lawCode=EDC>, according to a student’s grade span, alternative education setting, or alternative minimum day as specified by an individual educational plan. Student participation time must accrue in increments of one full hour for the purpose of generating ADA. When a student has participated in an instructional day equivalent to a day of instruction, the school may credit a day of AR ADA to the attendance week in the register when the student was absent. The original absence code must be kept in the attendance register. Student participation in AR prior to an absence can contribute towards making up an absence later in the same fiscal year.
