Average Daily Membership (ADM) is calculated using data submitted in the Arizona Education Data Standards (AzEDS) system. Data capture stores a static copy of ADM every month on the data capture deadline. ADM is the basis of state aid funding. Monthly state aid payments are a percentage of the annual equalization assistance less previous payments year-to-date.

Ensure data is reconciled and free of integrity errors prior to the monthly data capture dates. Reports are published at https://schoolfinancereports.azed.gov/.

The FY 2027 API is available from 6/1/2026 to 7/15/2027.

*Alternative to FY 2027 AzEDS data available for the first two payments only. Districts will be paid based on AzEDS prior-year ADM, which does not apply to Charters. Charters will be paid based on estimated counts submitted via the ADEConnect Charter Estimated Counts application.

To help districts and charters finalize their May 15th Expenditure Budget revisions, School Finance has put together updated preliminary annual FRPL, DAA, CAA, and Prop 123 one time funding apportionment amounts.

The data that was used for the FRPL, DAA, and CAA supplemental payment values come from the preliminary data for the FY26 May state aid payments using the AzEDS data capture date of April 15th, 2026. The data that was used for the Prop 123 supplemental payment values come from the preliminary data for the FY26 April Classroom Site Fund payment.
 
Please note that these values are not the final values that will be used for the second payment of these apportionments. Data based on the FY26 June state aid payments that use the 5/15/2026 data capture date will be used to finalize payment 2 for the FRPL, DAA, and CAA supplemental fundings. Data based on the FY26 June Classroom Site Fund payment will be used to finalize payment 2 for the Prop 123 supplemental funding. As a result, the finalized data is subject to change compared to the values provided in the spreadsheet.

Please see this spreadsheet for the updated preliminary values: FRPL, DAA, CAA, and Prop 123 One Time Funding Update
