Attendance Recovery programs provide students with more opportunities to learn and enable LEAs to offset absences and recover funding from high absentee rates. Consult the California Department of Education website for more information.
There are two parts to Attendance Recovery:
- The Attendance Recovery record (Student Information > State Programs > Attendance Recovery) for the student indicates the Attendance Recovery Program the student is participating in.
- The Program Services for Attendance Recovery records (Student Information > Program Participation > Program Services), which indicates the recovery time used and the recovery time earned.
This article includes information on both the Attendance Recovery tool and the Attendance Recovery Program Service, as well as how to use the Federal/State Program Updater to update the student's attendance recovery information.
Multiple Program Services can be entered for a student.
Follow your district's policies for entering this information.
For additional information on recording Attendance Recovery hours, see the Attendance Recovery Process article.
