Acton-Agua Dulce Unified plans attendance recovery and Saturday school starting in October to recoup ADA funding
Summary
Staff outlined a new state-authorized attendance recovery program the district plans to run beginning in October (monthly to start). The in-person program can recover up to 10 days of ADA per student, must be standards-aligned, requires certificated staff, and will be tracked separately for audits and CALPADS/Apportionment reporting.
Paula (student support services staff) told the board that the state-authorized attendance recovery program is available in the 2025-26 school year and is intended to let local education agencies recoup instructional opportunities missed because of chronic absenteeism and to recover some ADA funding. She said the program is classroom-based and in-person only (students participating remotely are not eligible), may be offered before or after school or on weekends or intersession days, and can be used in addition to — not as a replacement for — Saturday school.
Paula detailed requirements: attendance recovery can recover up to 10 days of ADA per student; it must be supervised by certificated staff (administrator or teacher); instruction must be standards-aligned and meet minimum daily minutes (3 hours for TK-3, 4 hours for higher grades as applicable); recordkeeping must be maintained for audits; and reporting will occur through the district's p1/p2 apportionment process and CALPADS with an end-of-year submission for attendance recovery days. She added that ELOP funds may be used under certain conditions and that the district expects to begin sessions in October, initially once a month and run simultaneously across sites to help families coordinate schedules.
