Course Based Independent Study ADA Adjustment
The following should be used by all school districts, charter schools, and COEs for reporting any Course Based Independent Study (CBIS) ADA that exceeds 10 percent of the total ADA of the LEA, pursuant to EC Section 51749.5(b)(5). For detailed instructions specific to each type of LEA, refer to the Principal Apportionment Data Collection (PADC) Software Data Reporting Instruction Manual. This calculation must be done prior to reporting ADA in the PADC Software.
| Grade Level | Statewide Absence Rate for Course Based Independent Study | Percentage of CBIS ADA, in excess of 10% of Total ADA, to be Reported |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary (K–8) | 4.49% | 95.51% |
| High (9–12) | 6.01% | 93.99% |
The statewide absence rates were calculated using 2018–19 elementary school district (K–8) and high school district (9–12) ADA reported as of the Second Principal Apportionment, divided by Fall Census Day enrollment (October 2018).
The following example illustrates the calculation for a hypothetical unified/high school district.
CBIS Calculation Example
| Calculation | CBIS ADA | All Other ADA | Total 9–12 ADA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9–12 Regular ADA (before adjustment) | 120.00 | 880.00 | 1000.00 |
| 10% Threshold | 1000 x 10% = 100.00 | N/A | N/A |
| ADA Exceeding Threshold Adjusted per EC 51749.5(b)(5) (rounded to the nearest 10th) | (120.00 − 100.00) x 93.99% = 18.80 | N/A | N/A |
| Adjusted Regular ADA to Be Reported as Eligible for Funding | 100.00 + 18.80 = 118.80 | 880.00 | 998.80 |
| ADA to Be Reported as Not Eligible for Funding (rounded to the nearest 10th) | (120.00 − 100.00) x 6.01% = 1.20 | N/A | N/A |
