In accordance with A.R.S. §15-905(L), the FY 2024 BUDG-75 Expenditure Analysis Letters are now published. Letters are based on the most recent FY 2024 BUDG-75 Over Expenditure reports, which have been calculated using the latest of FY 2024 BSA55 SRC or FY 2024 BSA55 915 information.  These letters serve as official notification of any over expenditure for FY 2024, and how Budget Balance/Over Expenditure values should be recorded on the next FY 2025 budget revision.

The expenditure analysis letters are addressed to the district's governing board in care of the district superintendent. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the district to inform the district's governing board members accordingly. 

Reports are available on the School Finance Reports website.

The FY23 9th grade CTED funding adjustment has been calculated and included in the FY25 February state aid payment. This adjustment has been included in the Adjusted Base Support Level. Please see the attached spreadsheet for more information.

Please note that there will be a final adjustment to this funding based on final FY25 ADM during the SRC payment period.

If you have any questions regarding the funding adjustment, please contact the School Finance Payment Team at [email protected]. If you have any questions regarding the ADM, please open a Help Desk ticket with the School Finance Account Analyst Team.

Thank you!

FY23 CTED Funding Adjustment

Grade 9 students enrolled in a Career and Technical Education District (CTED) and in a Regionally Identified High Need program* must be reported to AzEDS with Tuition Payer code 9.

Tuition Payer Code 9:
•    A 9th-grade student enrolled in a Regionally Identified High-Need program.

Grade 9 CTED students may generate funding when the student reaches the 40th day of grade 11 and is enrolled in an approved CTED program. Enrollment must be reported on the AzEDS Instructional Calendar for the 40th instructional day. While students can receive funding for 9th grade or the year after their graduation, they are prohibited from receiving CTED funding for more than four years, even if they attend more than one CTED.

School Finance will verify students' participation in the Regionally Identified High-Need program by using student data reported to AzEDS with a tuition payer code 9 and validate the data reported to the CTE Data Portal to calculate the appropriate ADM payment in the subsequent fiscal years. For example, if the 9th grade student in FY2025, remains enrolled in the program in FY2027 as an 11th grader, the ADM will be calculated in FY2027. 

*Regionally Identified High Need programs are identified by the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and approved by the Arizona Career and Technical Education Quality Commission (ACTEQC).

In accordance with A.R.S.15-915.B, School Finance has recalculated state aid payments for school districts that have been impacted by the Qasimyar vs Maricopa County judgement. More information about this judgement can be found on the Maricopa County Assessor’s website. This judgement impacted tax years 2015-2023, which caused adjustments in fiscal years 2016-2024 state aid payments for impacted districts.

The sum of each fiscal year’s calculated adjusted amounts is included in the fiscal year 2025 January state aid payment as current month adjustments on the BSA-64 report. These reports can be found on the School Finance website.

The calculated amount for each fiscal year and district in Maricopa County can also be found on the spreadsheet linked below.

Please contact the School Finance payment at [email protected] for any questions regarding the adjustment. Thank you!
