Reminder P-2 Attendance DUE APRIL 24

Attendance Reporting Reminder: P-2 Attendance Reports must be certified by the district no later than Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
The Principal Apportionment Data Collection (PADC) Web Application<pas.cde.ca.gov/> is now available for reporting 2023-24 Second Principal Apportionment (P-2) data to the California Department of Education (CDE).
All 2023-24 P-2 reports of attendance must be submitted to the California Department of Education (CDE) by Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Since these reports require certification by our office, SBAS must receive them by Wednesday, April 24, 2024, to allow time for review and processing.

The following 2023-24 P-2 data is due by Wednesday, April 24, 2024:
* 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 (submit new P-2 file only if revisions are needed) * Proposition 28: Arts and Music in Schools Certification
Resources for data reporting and certification are posted on the PADC webpage<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/index.asp?tabsection=4> under the Data Collection tab.
The PADC User Manual<view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cde.ca.gov%2Ffg%2Faa%2Fpa%2Fdocuments%2Fpadcmanual2324v1.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK> (v 2023-24 1.00) may be used in reporting data for the above-mentioned data entry screens.
A complete list of PADC due dates for 2023-24 is available here<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/pa/padcduedates2324.asp>. Also, the 2023-24 Principal Apportionment Calendar of Key Deadlines is available here<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/ataglance2324.asp>.
New for 2023-24:
* The following data entry screen has been added: * Proposition 28: Arts and Music in Schools Certification

Reminders:
* Read the User Manual thoroughly for step-by-step instructions and tips for specific data entry screens. * Make sure to save all data before navigating to the next record or tab within a data entry screen; verify all data saved correctly before validation and data certification. * If the system generates a blank page, do not refresh the browser. Instead, close the application and re-open it to continue. * If you experience technical difficulties, please call, or email the Principal Apportionment Section at 916-324-4541 or PADC@cde.ca.gov<mailto:PADC@cde.ca.gov>. * Prior year corrections (fiscal year 2020-21 and prior) should continue to be submitted through the PADC desktop software for each applicable year. The desktop software<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/index.asp?tabsection=4> can be downloaded from the PADC webpage. If your LEA had an emergency closure day in 2023-24 and is submitting a J-13A-Request for Allowance of Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions, that day is considered a non-instructional day, and students should not be marked as present or absent. Instead, the LEA should use one of the non-instructional day codes available in their attendance software to note that it was a school closure day. Additional information can be found on the J-13A website<sbasweb.sbceo.org/attendance/j-13a-emergency-waiver>.
Questions about the deadlines or data submittals that are not addressed through the resources listed above should be directed by phone or email to the Principal Apportionment Section at the contact information below:
