Attendance Recovery
Why Attendance Recovery Matters?
Chronic absenteeism and emergency disruptions have created learning gaps and financial strain for school districts across California. With the passage of SB 153 and SB 176, the state is offering a powerful solution: Attendance Recovery programs that allow students to make up missed instructional time—and allow districts to recover lost ADA funding.
Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, eligible districts can offer recovery sessions before and after school, during weekends, and over intersession breaks. These sessions don’t just support student learning—they generate additional ADA revenue, helping districts reinvest in staffing, enrichment programs, and student support.
With the right systems, support, and strategy, AR can:
-
Help students catch up academically
-
Increase daily engagement
-
Recover up to 10 full-day absences per student
-
Unlock hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional ADA revenue
