School districts and charters electing to provide 200 days of instruction must submit an application to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) by June 15th. Application forms should be submitted through HelpDesk.

• 200-Day Instructional Calendar Compliance Form 

School Finance uses the 100th day (or 200th day where applicable) of each school’s calendar to calculate average daily membership (ADM). To support ADM calculation, AzEDS requires that all schools submit one 5-day or 4-day calendar. The required 5-day or 4-day calendar is considered the school’s primary calendar. Every District or charter must upload a primary calendar, and then up to 3 additional 4-day or 3-day calendars for preschool (PS) or kindergarten (KG) may be submitted if needed.

To request approval for calendars beyond the defaults described above, please complete the Calendar Exemption Form and attach it to an Account Analyst Support Request within the HelpDesk application.  
Once your request is approved, you’ll receive notice from School Finance to coordinate uploading your new calendar(s) through your SIS to AzEDS.

• Calendar Exemption Request Form

HB 2862 allows a school district or charter to adopt an Instructional Time Model (ITM) to meet instructional hour requirements through things like remote instruction, project-based learning, mastery-based learning, weekend courses, and evening courses.

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 before the monthly data capture dates. Reports are published at School Finance Reports. 

The FY 2026 API is available from 06/01/2025 to 07/15/2026.

*Districts will be paid based on AzEDS prior-year student counts, which do not apply to Charters. Charter will be paid based on estimated counts submitted via the ADEConnect Charter Estimated Counts application.
