Overview

Allows a student enrolled in an approved career technical education district (CTED) program to generate an average daily membership (ADM) for instruction received during any day of the week and at any time.

History

ADM is the total enrollment of fractional students and full-time students, minus withdrawals for the first 100 or 200 days of the school year (A.R.S. 15-901). Statute requires that public schools meet for at least 180 days each school year (A.R.S. 15-341.01).

ADM calculation for a student who participates in a CTE program or course differs as follows:

1) A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program on a satellite campus may generate up to 1.25 ADM;

2) A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program at a centralized campus may generate up to 1.75 ADM; and

3) A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program at a leased centralized campus may generate up to 1.75 ADM.

A school district or charter school and CTED must determine ADM apportionment for students. However, the apportioned amount may not exceed 1.0 ADM for either entity (A.R.S. § 15-393).

A satellite campus means a facility that is owned or operated by a school district or charter school and that offers CTED programs or courses. A centralized campus means a facility that is owned and operated by a CTED and that offers CTED programs or courses. A leased centralized campus means a facility that is leased and operated by a CTED that offers CTED programs or courses (A.R.S. § 15-393).
