METHODOLOGY:

This bill limits the computation of average daily membership in attendance (ADMA) and average daily membership in residence (ADMR) to once a year.  The Department of Education reviews and recalculates, when necessary, student data between the initial computation (typically done in September for the October 1 report date) and the final education grant payments made in April.  Therefore, this bill may result in an indeterminable impact to both state education trust fund expenditures and local revenues to the extent student data cannot be validated with additional computations.
