The Average Daily Attendance (ADA) tab is used to track a student's eligibility status as reflected in the attendance accounting records of the district. This tab allows users to add, edit, or delete ADA student records. This tab also allows users to print a summary of all ADA records for the selected student. ADA record creation is part of core functionality. Edits to this tab should be minimal.
Automatic ADA Record Creation
For every new enrollment that is created, a matching ADA Record is automatically created and populated. These records are created for new enrollments that are: created manually, Enrollment Roll Forward, or created through a records transfer.
The newly created ADA record contains the following information:
A Start Date that is equal to the Start Date of the Enrollment
End Date that is equal (if applicable) to the End Date of the Enrollment. If an Enrollment End Date does not exist, this field remains blank
Comments that include the username of the person creating the record/enrollment and a date/time stamp
ADA Eligibility Status:
Enrollment Roll Forward:
The ADA Eligibility status is the same as the last ADA Eligibility value from the enrollment being rolled forward
If the previous ADA record exists with no ADA Eligibility status, the new record is created with a null status as well
Manual Enrollment Record
The ADA Eligibility value is the same as the most recent ADA Eligibility status from most recent enrollment of the same type (P, S, N)
If no other enrollments of the same type exist, the district-defined default status from the Attribute/Dictionary is used
If no default value exists, an ADA record is created with a null ADA Eligibility status
If the previous ADA record exists with no ADA Eligibility status, the new record is created with a null status as well
Creating a New ADA Record
Users may create ADA records for students by pressing New. Users may add as many ADA records as necessary for each student.
ADA records MUST meet the following requirements:
ADA record dates may not overlap one another
There may be no enrollment gaps in ADA Eligibility
