§ 46302 Calculating Average Daily Attendance

• •Schools with four terms must count attendance in a special way.
• •They divide total student attendance days by the number of days school was open in the busiest three terms.
• •The divisor (number they divide by) can’t be less than 175 days.

A school has four terms, and the most days school was open in any three terms is 180 days.

The school will divide the total student attendance days by 180 to figure out average attendance, but they can’t use a number lower than 175 even if school was open fewer days.
