Question

Is it recommended to collect Hourly ADA for Independent Study Students?


Answer

No, Hourly Attendance Reports should not be used to report ADA on students who are on Independent Study. Independent Study ADA reporting is based on Days not Hours.


Recommendation:

  • Place Independent Study students in a Student Program using STU.SP, this will separate the students from Regular Program when running Attendance Reports

  • Use Incomplete IS and Complete IS Absence Codes in the All Day Code field

  • Use the Monthly Attendance Summary and Monthly Attendance Report for ADAA district's



NOTE: A district's Auditor and/or the CDE would need to be contacted for approval on collecting hourly ADA for Independent Study Students.
