Question

Should a student's original Absence Code be changed when they attend Saturday School to recoup ADA? 


Answer

No. Per the CDE: Due to attendance submission requirements in CALPADS, students whose absences are changed to count for ADA by attending Saturday School, need to keep the original Absence Type in place on a student's record. The original attendance information is required for proper chronic absenteeism calculations by CALPADS.
