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. Attendance Recovery data reports on the CALPADS Student Absent Summary Extract.
There are two parts to Attendance Recovery. First, a student needs an Attendance Recovery record entered into Campus with start and end dates, and a comment (if applicable) of what Attendance Recovery Service they will be participating in. Second, a Program Service for Attendance Recovery record is entered for the student, which includes the Attendance Recovery dates (from the Attendance Recovery record) and the Type of Attendance Recovery.
Follow your district's policies for entering this information.
This article includes information on both the Attendance Recovery tool and the Attendance Recovery Program Service.
