New Attendance Recovery is here — see how California districts are recovering ADA funding

Attendance Recovery

Your district's ADA funding is already allocated. The question is whether you're recovering it.

California allows districts to recover up to 10 ADA days per student per year through existing after-school programs. Attendly is the only platform that connects your Aeries absence data to after-school attendance — and shows you the dollars recovered in real time. Districts are already projecting $45K to $3M+ in annual recovery.

See What Your District Could Recover

$1.12M

Projected end-of-year recovery — 1,800+ ELOP students, 77% UPP

$133K

Recovered in first 48 program days — 869 students, scaling to $843K

$45K

Projected from just 64 students across 3 elementary schools

These are real projections from Attendly pioneer districts using their own attendance and absence data.

The Attendance Recovery Opportunity

Up to 10

ADA days recoverable per student per year

$45K–$3M+

Annual recovery range based on district size and UPP

3 Grants

Base + Supplemental + Concentration through LCFF

How the LCFF Funding Formula Works for AR

Base Grant

Foundational per-student funding by grade level ($10,177–$12,460 per ADA)

Supplemental Grant

20% of base grant multiplied by your district's Unduplicated Pupil Percentage

Concentration Grant

Additional funding when UPP exceeds 55% — where the multiplier really kicks in

Higher UPP means higher recovery value per student. A district at 77% UPP recovers significantly more per day than one at 55%. Attendly calculates this automatically using your district's actual LCFF rates.

Recover
