HB 2200 Summary

• Replaces "average daily membership" (ADM) with "average daily attendance" (ADA) as the unit of measurement for calculating school funding throughout Arizona's school finance system.

• Modifies the definition of ADA to focus on actual daily attendance of students through the first 180 or 200 days in session, with specific calculations for full-time and part-time students at different grade levels.

• Repeals sections 15-902 and 15-902.02 (which contained ADM definitions and adjusted ADM provisions) and amends section 15-902.01 to reflect the transition to attendance-based funding.

• Updates approximately 30 Arizona Revised Statutes sections that reference membership or funding calculations to use the new ADA methodology consistently across charter schools, districts, special education programs, and online instruction.

• Maintains existing funding formulas and support levels while changing the foundational metric from enrollment-based measurement to actual attendance-based measurement for state aid calculations.
