Attendance Reporting: ADA and Chronic Absenteeism Roundtable

Local educational agencies collect and report attendance for the purpose of funding, compulsory education, and accountability requirements multiple times each year. While the requirements to generate a day of attendance are the same whether the attendance is used to calculate average daily attendance (ADA) or factored into chronic absentee rates, the calculation and reporting requirements to the California Department of Education are different for each. This roundtable will cover both the ADA reporting process through the Principal Apportionment Data Collection and the absence reporting process through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. We will also discuss the outcomes of each process and the resulting data.
