Since these corrections require certification by our office, SBAS must receive them by Friday, October 24th, 2025, to allow time for review and processing.<br \/>\nCHARTER 20 DAY REPORT The fiscal year (FY) 2025\u201326 Charter 20 Day report, managed by the California Department of Education\u2019s (CDE) School Fiscal Services Division, is now available on the CDE Charter 20 Day, FY 2025\u201326, web page at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/fg\/aa\/pa\/csfunding.asp?tabsection=2#charter20day\">www.cde.ca.gov\/fg\/aa\/pa\/csfunding.asp?tabsection=2#charter20day<\/a>.<br \/>\nPursuant to Education Code (EC) sections 47652 and 43505, a charter school that is new in FY 2025\u201326, and that received advance funding in September based on estimated enrollment data reported in the Pupil Estimates for New or Significantly Expanding Charters (PENSEC) report, shall report to the CDE its attendance as of the 20th day of student instruction via the Charter 20 Day report web-based application. This data allows the department to adjust the amount of the charter school\u2019s state aid Principal Apportionment special advances for Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and Education Protection Account (EPA). Payment of the adjusted LCFF State Aid Charter School Special Advance and second quarter EPA State Aid apportionments usually occurs in late December.<br \/>\nINSTRUCTIONS In addition to the following information, detailed Charter 20 Day Instructions are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/fg\/aa\/pa\/charter20dayinstr.asp\">www.cde.ca.gov\/fg\/aa\/pa\/charter20dayinstr.asp<\/a>.<br \/>\nWHO SHOULD SUBMIT Pursuant to EC Section 47652, a Charter 20 Day report is required of charters that submitted a 2025\u201326 Pupil Estimates for New or Significantly Expanding Charters (PENSEC) report under one of the following criteria:<br \/>\n*   New charter schools in their first year of operation that commence instruction by September 30th, 2025. A charter is usually also considered new for LCFF and EPA funding if it is operating under a new charter number. *   Continuing charter schools that are expanding to add one or more grade levels in FY 2025\u201326.<br \/>\nIf you wish to file the Charter 20 Day report but did not file the 2025\u201326 PENSEC report, you may do so, but the charter school may need to be added to the Charter 20 Day software first (see QUESTIONS below).<br \/>\nFILING DEADLINES The FY 2025\u201326 Charter 20 Day data (submitted online) and the signed certification (emailed PDF file) are both due to the CDE by October 31, 2025. Certifications are considered complete only when they are fully signed by all parties with original, \u201cwet\u201d signatures. Be sure to allow time for all levels (e.g., charter, school district, county office of education) to review the data, sign, and submit the certification to the CDE by the deadline. Data or fully signed certifications received after the deadline may cause the charter school to wait until a later apportionment to receive state aid funding based on actual attendance data.<br \/>\nPIN A personal identification number (PIN) is required to log on to the Charter 20 Day report. Use the same PIN as was provided to your charter school for use with the PENSEC report.<br \/>\nQUESTIONS Please send questions about the Charter 20 Day report, including if you need a PIN or wish to be added to the list of charters that may access the software, to <a href=\"mailto:csspecialadvance@cde.ca.gov\" >csspecialadvance@cde.ca.gov<\/a><<a href=\"mailto:csspecialadvance@cde.ca.gov\">mailto:<a href=\"mailto:csspecialadvance@cde.ca.gov\" >csspecialadvance@cde.ca.gov<\/a><\/a>> and include your charter name, number, and 14-digit county-district-school (CDS) code.
