CSF Payment 9 Correction Notice

April 1, 2014 By

The CSF payment 9 report dated 3/27/2014 contains an incorrect Per Pupil Amount, $401.00.  $401 is in error, it should be $310. This has to do with a refresh of the CSF system and will be resolved in time for CSF payment 10, to be made in April.

We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.

April’s monthly processing begins on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 and will include data submitted to SAIS through 5pm on Monday, April 7.  For those LEAs whose schools have all reached 100th day by April 8, 2014, 100th day ADM will be calculated and available by April 16, 2014.  Otherwise, 40th day ADM will be available on this date.  Please check the IT Bulletin Board for updates stating the data has completed processing.  Only at that time can you check your ADMS, SPED and ELL 75 reports and expect to see complete ADM results.
 
For charters, the ADMS40 series reports generated this month will be the basis for your May 1, 2014 state aid disbursement.
 
Please keep in mind that, as reported previously, the date in which your LEA is eligible for your 40th day and 100th day ADM to be calculated has changed this year.  It is now on the day in which all of the schools within the LEA have reached the 40th day (or 100th day) of school and is subject to the aggregation processing schedule.  Please see this HOT TOPICS posting for more information.
