District Attendance Regular ADA Hours

The District Attendance Regular Hours report returns attendance for pupils residing in the district broken down by instructional program. 

Submission periods:

  • First Period (July 1 through December 31)

  • Second Period (July 1 through April 15)

  • Annual (July 1 through June 30)

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records the report uses. 

Student Selection

The report selects student records based on the following criteria:

  • The student must be enrolled in a school included in the report.

  • The student's school enrollment must not be excluded from California ADA reporting.

  • The student's school enrollment Entry Date must occur on or before the report end date.

  • The student's school enrollment Exit Date must occur on or after the report start date.

  • The student's school enrollment Exit Date must occur after the school enrollment Entry Date.

  • If a grade level is chosen, the student must be enrolled in a grade level chosen at report runtime.


The California Department of Education (CDE) has added a new grade level of ‘TK’ that districts must use when reporting Transitional Kindergarten students to CALPADS. This new grade level will be effective starting with the 2023-2024 school year.

To support this functionality, PowerSchool has updated all California state reporting pages and reports to honor the grade level mappings as defined by each district.

The grade level is reported as mapped in all CA-specific reports once you meet the following criteria:

  • You are on PS Version 23.1 or higher

  • LTK Pref is enabled

  • While running the report, the selected school year is 23-24 or higher.

LTK Grade Level Mapping - valid values:

  • Grade 0 = KN

  • Grades -1 and below = TK, PS, IN

  • Grades >12 = AD

Report Input

This report is run at the District level only.

A-1

Regular ADA (includes Opportunity Classes, Home and Hospital, Special Day Class, and Continuation Education)

Regular average daily attendance. Includes opportunity classes, home and hospital, special day classes and continuation education.

Opportunity Classes

The special program must be mapped to Opportunity in the AEP Program field on the District Special Program page.

Home and Hospital

The special program must be mapped to Home and Hospital in the AEP Program field on the District Special Program page.

Special Day Class

The special program must be mapped to Special Ed – Special Day Class in the AEP Program field on the District Special Program page.

Continued Education

The average daily attendance for all students enrolled in a continuation education special program. The report identifies the correct special program based on the program selected on the Attendance Backfill Preferences page.

The report uses the following calculation:

(Total Apportioned Hours / Maximum Hours per Day) / Total Days Taught

  • Total Apportioned Hours = Apportioned Hours + Credit Hours

  • Apportioned Hours = Course Hours + Work Hours + NonWork Hours. The aggregated number of hours for all students in attendance for the report date range. This value does not include hours used for backfill.

  • Course Hours – Based on the number of attendance intervals/hours awarded to the student for regular courses.

  • Work Hours – Based on the number of attendance intervals/hours awarded to the student for work exchange.

  • NonWork Hours – Based on the number of attendance intervals/hours awarded to the student for non-work exchange courses.

  • Credit Hours – The aggregated number of hours used for backfill during the report date range.

The report divides the total minutes used for backfill by 60.

Apportionment is the distribution of attendance hours for continuation education students. The purpose of apportionment is to claim the maximum number of attendance hours per student per week.  If a student attends fewer than the maximum hours in Week 1 and more than the maximum hours in Week 2, the excess hours will be apportioned, or distributed, from Week 2 to Week 1. The state specifies the number of days eligible for apportionment.
