AARC Information
What is the AARC Program?
The AARC Program is a comprehensive solution designed to help districts re-engage students who have accrued excused or unexcused absences, while also recapturing significant ADA revenue that would otherwise be lost. Through structured four-hour instructional sessions held on Saturdays, Sundays, or other non-school days (plus a short nutrition break), districts can recover hundreds of thousands—even millions—in funding.
Unlike traditional Saturday School programs that focus on discipline, AARC is 100% instructional. Sessions are led by credentialed district teachers and supported by classified staff, and the curriculum is flexible and tailored to your needs:
• Academic support & tutoring
• Enrichment and test prep
• Credit recovery and lab work
• Custom district or school-specific offerings
All logistics, staffing coordination, and operational support are managed by our experienced team at Educational Consulting Services (ECS). We handle the details, so your team can focus on impact.

The AARC Program
(Academic Attendance Recovery Coordinated Program)
California K-12 public schools lose thousands and millions of dollars in attendance revenues each year. Districts lose an average of $50 per day for each absence. Education Code Sections 37223 allows districts to recover those lost revenues through a four hour instructional program on a Saturday or Sunday.
Educational Consulting Services Inc. (ECS) has developed an unique and comprehensive program called the AARC (Academic Attendance Recovery Coordinated) Program to assist districts in recovering lost attendance revenues and instructional time. For more information click on AARC Info.
The AARC program is a ‘Win Win.’ Students recover lost instructional time, the district recaptures lost ADA and our employees have an opportunity to supplement their income
We recovered almost a million dollars in ADA revenues our first year
This is a win-win for CJUSD. We have retrieved huge ADA revenue. I can tell you this program works!
