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.
