Submit Annual Attendance, Infant Funding, SELPA ADA Allocation, and AICF Data

A multi-owner PADC closeout for distinct annual funding datasets that must reconcile to attendance, special education, correctional-program, and fiscal records.

  • Principal Apportionment
  • PADC
  • Annual Data
Date(s)July 15, 2026
Applies toLEAs/SELPAs responsible for applicable 2025–26 Annual attendance, infant funding, SELPA ADA allocation, and AICF data

In Plain Language: Determine which screens apply, reconcile each to its own authoritative source, enter/certify in PADC, and preserve the final report and approvals.

Why this matters

These datasets share a deadline but not a definition or owner. Bundling them without a responsibility matrix invites omissions or double counting.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: principal-apportionment/PADC coordinator. Partners: attendance, COE/district/charter fiscal, SELPA, infant program, AICF program, and authorized certifiers.

Operational workflow

  1. 1. Inventory applicable screens and owners.
  2. 2. Reconcile each dataset to attendance/fiscal/program source records.
  3. 3. Enter in PADC and compare system reports to control totals.
  4. 4. Obtain required entity/SELPA approvals and certifications.
  5. 5. Submit by July 15 and archive each final screen/report.
