Local educational agencies (LEAs) develop school calendars, bell schedules, and internal attendance reporting calendars each year to meet instructional time requirements, report average daily attendance (ADA) for funding, and meet other operational considerations. These decisions play a critical role in shaping student attendance patterns and overall funding outcomes.

This roundtable will provide guidance on aligning school calendars and bell schedules with statutory requirements while exploring how internal ADA reporting practices can influence reported attendance. Participants will engage in discussion and learn practical approaches to support strong attendance and maximize funding opportunities.
