Whole-Day Half-Day Attendance (Kentucky)

Last Modified on 11/18/2024 10:42 am CST

The information available on this page is specific to users within the state of Kentucky.

The Kentucky Whole-Day / Half-Day (WDHD) attendance model provides attendance calculation data to meet state-mandated requirements for tracking and funding. This article contains information related to the logic used to calculate attendance reporting values for students in Kentucky.

For information on the use of attendance tools, please refer to separate documentation.

The Kentucky attendance model is structured around the concept of whole-day/half-day attendance. Whole-day/half-day values (i.e., 0, .5, 1.0) are assigned based on a daily percent of attendance (ADA) and KY state mandates. The whole-day/half-day attendance model allows attendance logic to properly calculate and report student data for the wide range of attendance scenarios applicable to students, including: varying period schedules, adjusted school start/end times, student enrollment types, applicable attendance groups, etc. There are two calculation modes for attendance values: Truancy and Funding.

The main component of Kentucky attendance calculations and reporting relies on values stored in the Summary table of the database. Data is pulled from this table, as needed.

Key Terms

The following terms are defined as related to Kentucky attendance:

Term

Definition

ABSENT MINUTES

Tool Search: Attendance 


This editor shows absent minutes for individual attendance events.

The number of attendance minutes for a student where the status is “absent” and the excuse code is either “excused” or “unexcused.” This total does not include attendance minutes with a status of “absent” and an excuse code of “unknown.” If more than one absent minute code exists for a day, the last absent minute code of the day is used to represent all absent minutes of the day.

ADA

Average Daily Attendance. An aggregate number of student attendance days. ADA is a calculation used for both truancy and funding attendance purposes. A student’s ADA value can not exceed a value of 1.0.
Over-scheduled students are subject to a cap on minutes included in ADA calculations.

ADM

Average Daily Membership. An aggregate number of student membership days.

AVAILABLE ABSENT MINUTES

This value is the maximum number of minutes a student can be counted as absent. Absent minutes are capped for any student who is scheduled for more than a standard day.

ENROLLED DAYS

Tool Search: Attendance


The total number of days a student is enrolled within the selected calendar year, based on the Start and End Date fields of the student’s enrollment record.

NON-INSTRUCTIONAL TIME

Tool Search: Period Setup


Non-instructional minutes are designated in the Non-Instructional Time field of the Period Schedule Info editor.

Time entered in these fields is included in the total number of Standard Day Minutes and in School Day Minutes. Time entered in these fields is subtracted from the total number of daily Instructional Minutes and generally includes lunch time and transition time between periods that exceeds five minutes.

NOTE: Non-instructional minutes are NOT subtracted in attendance calculations.

NON-INSTRUCTIONAL PERIOD

Tool Search: Period Setup


Non-instructional periods are indicated by marking the Non-Instructional Period checkbox.

A period marked as a Non-Instructional Period will not be included in Standard Day, School Day or Instructional Minute calculations. Non-Instructional Periods must fall outside of the set of contiguous Standard Day periods. Typically they exist as activity periods that occur at the start or end of the day.

PARTIAL MINUTES

Tool Search: Attendance Group


An adjusted number of minutes for a student who is not expected to attend school full-time, according to his/her IEP. Partial Minutes are the total number of minutes that a student should be in attendance, per the duration of his/her PAR attendance.

Partial Minutes include Non-Instructional Minutes, EXCEPT from periods marked entirely as non-instructional.

When the Attendance Group field is set to a value of “PAR: Partial Day,” the Avg Partial Minutes field displays the total number of minutes the student is expected to be in attendance.

POSSIBLE ADA

The maximum present-day percentage that a student can attend, given his/her schedule. For example, if a student is 50% partial day (e.g., scheduled for 200/400 minutes in a day), his/her maximum possible ADA is .50.

Possible ADA is a funding-based value and is not used in truancy calculations.

PRESENT MINUTES

Tool Search: Attendance


This editor shows present minutes as related to individual attendance events.

The number of minutes a student is considered “present” within his/her scheduled courses.

STANDARD DAY MINUTES

Tool Search: Period Setup


The total number of minutes associated with all contiguous periods specified as standard day periods.

To be included in Standard Day Minutes, a period must have the Standard Day checkbox flagged on the Periods tool.


The Standard Day Minutes total includes Non-Instructional Minutes, EXCEPT from periods where the Non-Instructional checkbox is marked on the Period Schedule Info editor. A single period cannot have both the Non-Instructional and Standard Day checkboxes marked.

TARDY

In general, a student is considered “tardy” on days when his/her absent minutes are less than or equal to 35% of his/her Standard Day Minutes. Tardies and absent time are always assigned the last attendance code of the day (e.g., If a student is unexcused absent for 10 minutes in the morning and excused absent for 30 minutes in the afternoon, his/her single tardy value for the day will be an excused tardy).

 Attendance Entry Tools

The following table summarizes the main tools available for attendance tracking within the Campus interface:

Please see the Kentucky page for more information on KY state-specific tools.

Tool Name

Description

(KY) Attendance Wizard

Tool Search: Attendance Wizard

The Attendance Wizard is a tool customized for the state of Kentucky that allows attendance clerks and other staff to update attendance on multiple students at a time. Functionality includes:

  • The ability to check in/out a student multiple times each day. This ensures accurate present/absent minute totals per day.
  • The ability to mark student attendance individually or en masse.
  • The ability to overwrite student attendance individually or en masse.

Student Attendance

Tool Search: Attendance

The Attendance tool provides the ability to mark or update attendance for a single student.

  • The ability to check in/out a student multiple times each day. This ensures accurate present/absent minute totals per day.
  • The ability to enter exempt absences for a student (e.g., EHO).
  • The ability to mark a student absent for a whole day.
  • The ability to edit all attendance marks for a single student.

Daily Attendance Tool

Tool Search: Daily Attendance

The Daily Attendance tool allows the review and update of attendance events for individual students who have a tardy/absence on the selected date.

Teacher Attendance

Tool Search: Teacher Attendance


The Instruction Attendance tool allows teachers to mark students as “Absent,” “Present” or “Tardy.”

Attendance marked through this tool is considered “Unknown” (i.e., unofficial) and is NOT used in attendance reporting (but does display on informational grids in the Attendance Tab and Attendance Wizard).

Classroom Monitor

Tool Search: Classroom Monitor


The Classroom Monitor allows attendance clerks the ability to see whether or not attendance has been taken for a period. It displays the mark assigned by the teacher, allowing the attendance clerk to change the mark (but only to the same values of “Absent,” “Present” or “Tardy”).

Attendance marked through this tool is considered “Unknown” (i.e., unofficial) and is NOT used in attendance reporting (but does display on informational grids in the Attendance Tab and Attendance Wizard).

 

Use of the Scheduling Board requires a rebuild of the Attendance Summary table. Please contact Infinite Campus Support.

Attendance Architecture

The following tables provide the framework on which KY attendance calculations and reporting is based:

Table

Database Table Name

Use

Check-In/Check-Out

CheckInCheckOut

This table contains individual attendance transactions and specific check-in/out times. This is “raw” attendance data to which KY state-specific logic is applied.

Attendance Table

kyAttendance

This table contains attendance events that do not involve check-in/out transactions, including whole-day absences and teacher attendance. This is a “raw” attendance data to which KY state-specific logic is applied.

Summary Table / View

kyAttDailySummary

This is the main table for the KY attendance fields used in reporting and attendance functionality. This table is created from the raw attendance data in the CheckInCheckOut and kyAttendance tables, combined with logic based on KY state-mandated attendance policies.

Transferred Attendance View

kyTransferredAttendance

This table contains attendance data that has been received through a records transfer from another district in KY.

 

Calendar Setup

This section explains the features of Calendar tools as related to the setup and functionality of the Standard Day attendance method.

Calendar

Tool Search: Calendar Information

The Exclude checkbox excludes information (including student attendance) for the selected calendar from all funding reports. However, some truancy reports (e.g., Register Report, Attendance Profile report) still pull data from excluded calendars, as appropriate.

Screenshot of the Calendar tab calling out the Exclude checkbox, which will exclude the calendar’s data from funding reports.
Image 1: Calendar Tab

The Student Day (Instructional Minutes), Whole Day Absence (Minutes) and Half Day Absence (Minutes) fields on the Calendar tool are purely for informational purposes and do not affect attendance functionality. The Start Date and End Date fields are related to fiscal year. Values entered in any of these fields WILL NOT affect attendance calculations.

Grade Levels

Tool Search: Grade Level Setup

The local school grade levels must be mapped to state grade levels for the purpose of reporting. The Name field represents the local school code for the grade; the State Grade Level Code field indicates the accepted state grade level to which the local school grade relates.

The Exclude from State Reporting checkbox is used to exclude information (including student attendance) for the selected grade from all funding reports. Some truancy reports (e.g., Register Report, Attendance Profile report) still pull data from excluded grades, as appropriate

Screenshot of the Grade Levels tab calling out fields only used in KY attendance logic and calculations.
Image 2: Grade Levels Tab

The Standard Day, Maximum Membership Days, Whole Day Absence (Minutes) and Half Day Absence (Minutes) fields on the Grade Levels tool do not affect attendance functionality or calculations.

Periods

Tool Search: Period Setup

Proper setup of the Periods tab is integral to attendance calculations, reporting and logic.

Period Info Editor

Information entered in the Period Info editor influences the totals shown in the PeriodSchedule Info editor.

Designating Standard-Day Periods
For a period to count towards the Standard Day Minutes total, two requirements must be met:

  • The Standard Day checkbox MUST be flagged.
  • The Standard Day period must be within a contiguous set of Standard Day periods. All periods marked as Standard Day must occur in a sequential set; this set of Standard Day periods is not allowed to be “interrupted” by non-Standard Day periods, or by non-instructional minutes (i.e., periods must NOT have gaps between them; therefore, if period 1 ends at 8:50, period 2 must begin at 8:50).

Screenshot of the Periods tab calling out the Standard Day Minutes total used in KY attendance logic.
Image 3: Periods Tab

Non-Instructional Time Field

Minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time fields are NOT subtracted in attendance calculations.

This field is used to enter non-instructional minutes that go beyond the allowed 5 minute passing time between periods. The Instructional Minutes total of the Period Schedule editor does not include minutes entered in this field; however, the School Day Minutes field will include these minutes.

For example, in a school where nine minutes of passing time exists between periods 1 and 2, a value of “4” should be entered in this field (9 - 5 = 4). The number of minutes for non-instructional recess and lunch times should also be entered here.

Non-Instructional Periods Checkbox
This checkbox is for periods that are considered entirely non-instructional and should not be considered in attendance calculations or logic. All minutes of a Non-Instructional Period are designated as non-instructional; therefore, no minutes need to be entered in the Non-Instructional Minutes field. The Non-Instructional Period checkbox should be flagged only for periods that should not count as Instructional Minutes or Standard Day Minutes (e.g., before or after-school activity periods) or School Day Minutes. Non-Instructional Periods should be set up outside of the school day.

The Non-Instructional Period checkbox cannot be flagged if the Standard Day checkbox is (and vice versa). Non-instructional minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time field will not decrease Standard Day Minutes.

PeriodSchedule Info Editor

The difference between the Instructional Minutes total and the School Day Minutes total will be the number of minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time fields.

Screenshot of the Period Schedule Info Editor highlighting the differences between the Instructional Minutes and School Day totals.
Image 4: PeriodSchedule Info Editor

Values entered/displayed in the Instructional Minutes, School Day Minutes and Non-Instructional Time are NOT used in attendance calculations.

Instructional Minutes Total

The Instructional Minutes total is merely a visual indication of the total number of minutes considered “instructional” for the entire period schedule. This total excludes minutes from periods flagged as Non-Instructional Period(s) and minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time field. This total is not used in attendance calculations. Instructional Minutes are reported on the Calendar Report and may be viewed on the printed version of the calendar via the Days tab.

School Day Total

The School Day minutes total is merely a visual indication of the total number of minutes in the entire “school day,” including minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time field. This total excludes periods flagged as Non-Instructional Period(s). This total is not used in attendance calculations.

Days

Tool Search: Day Setup

The Days tab should be used to adjust days that are shortened (e.g., student breaks/holidays, unexpected closures). Attendance reports and features will honor any start/end times entered on the Day Detail editor. These fields specifically affect and relate to attendance calculations:

  • Start Time -- Adjusted day start time.
  • End Time -- Adjusted day end time.

  • Duration (Day Detail editor) --This field is auto-filled based on the adjusted Start and/or End Time entered, as compared to the contiguous Standard Day periods on the period schedule.

    Infinite Campus does not recommend use of the Duration field of the Day Event editor.

  • Instructional Minutes -- Adjusted number of instructional minutes for shortened days. Minutes in this field are manually adjusted by a user to override the instructional time on the period schedule for a shortened day.

Screenshot of the Days tab calling out the Day Detail and Day Event fields that impact attendance calculations.
Image 5: Days Tab

Partial-Day (PAR) Attendance Students

When a student needs an adjusted attendance schedule, a PAR attendance group may be necessary to ensure accurate attendance reporting.

District-level system administrators will need to consider the appropriate type of setup for defining student partial-day setup based on school setup (multi-period day or one-period days).

Schools with One-Period Days

In schools that use one-period days or days where one period comprises the vast majority of school time (such as elementary schools), a PAR attendance group with start/end time is necessary.

Schools with Multiple-Period Days

  • In most cases, the student’s schedule can be used to establish partial-day (i.e., student can be scheduled for periods 1 and 2).
  • Partial-day students should be assigned to a PAR attendance group.
  • If the student must arrive/leave within a period (not at the period’s standard start/end time), the PAR attendance group must reflect the proper start/end times.
  • The student’s percent of enrollment will be indicated on the PAR attendance group by auto-filling the Percent Enrolled field with a value based from the student’s schedule and/or start and end times. 

Assigning a PAR Attendance Group

Tool Search: Attendance Group

The Attendance Group tab is where a PAR attendance group is assigned to a student. When adding a PAR attendance group, several sets of steps are necessary for complete setup.

For students who are PAR by schedule only:  Setup a partial schedule for these students before creating a PAR attendance group for the student. Otherwise, validations on this screen will prevent the user from creating a PAR attendance group (because he/she is still fully scheduled).

Screenshot of adding an Attendance Group from the Student Attendance Group Tab.
Image 6: Student Attendance Group Tab

If the student has an IEP, the student's PAR attendance group start/end times must match those entered on the IEP.

  1. Click the Add Attendance Group icon from the action bar.
  2. Select the applicable calendar from the Enrollment field.
  3. Select “PAR: Partial Day” from the Attendance Group field. Two additional fields and screen text will display, as shown below:
    Screenshot of Partial Day Attendance Group calling out fields that only display when Partial Day is selected in the Attendance Group editor.
    Image 7: Partial Day Attendance Group
  4. Enter a Start Date. Enter an End Date, as necessary.
  5. Enter a Start Time/End Time, as necessary.
  6. Click the Save icon in the action bar to save these settings. After saving, two additional PAR attendance calculation fields will display, as shown below:

Screenshot of attendance calculation fields that display after saving the Partial Day Attendance Group.
Image 8: Calculation of Saved PAR Attendance Group

The Avg Partial Minutes field is a minute value based on the sum of Partial Minutes within the PAR attendance group date range as divided by the student’s total number of Scheduled Days. Days on which the student does not have any Scheduled Minutes are not counted in his/her Scheduled Days total.

The Percent Enrolled field calculation depends on whether the Start Time / End Time fields of this screen’s Attendance Group editor:

  • If values HAVE been entered in the Start Time /End Time fields: This field is based on the sum of Partial Minutes within the indicated date range as divided by the sum of possible Standard Day Minutes within the indicated date range. Standard Day Minutes will not be counted for days the student is not scheduled (to account for students who are scheduled on day patterns, such as “A” days but not “B” days).
  • If values HAVE NOT been entered in the Start Time / End Time fields (indicating that partial-day attendance is accounted for by the student’s schedule): This field is based on the sum of Scheduled Minutes within the indicated date range as divided by the sum of Standard Day Minutes within the indicated date range.

Attendance Elements Available in Ad Hoc Reporting

tardyCount

Tardy is defined as a day with a truancyWDHDpresent value of 1.0 and a dailyAbsent value > 0.0. Total for all enrollments in selected calendar.

In general, a student is considered “tardy” on days when his/her absent minutes are less than or equal to 35% of his/her Standard Day Minutes. Tardies are always assigned the last attendance code of the day (e.g., If a student is unexcused absent for 10 minutes in the morning and excused absent for 30 minutes in the afternoon, his/her single tardy value for the day will be an excused tardy).

detailAbsentTruancy

This is a truancy value that contains the percent of a day a student is absent for a specific local attendance code. Reports will total a student's detailAbsentTruancy values for a day and then calculate the percent of the day that he/she was absent, as compared to his/her Scheduled Minutes. This will is used for the FTE mode of Truancy Reports.

  • Unexcused (UX) event:detailAbsentPercent = AbsentMinutes / ScheduledMinutes = 100/400 = .25
  • Excused (EX) event:detailAbsentPercent = AbsentMinutes / ScheduledMinutes = 200/300 = .50
     
    For example, if a student is scheduled for 400 minutes and he/she has two attendance events in a day -- an unexcused absence of 100 minutes and an excused absence of 200 minutes -- the detailAbsentTruancyvalue would be as follows for each event:
    • Unexcused (UX) event: 100/400 = .25
    • Excused (EX) event: 200/300 = .50

Does not appear in user interface

fundingWDHDpresent

Contains the whole-day / half-day present day value for the given day. This value is determined by calculating an FTE value for the student's present attendance on the given day and then converting to WDHD via the following cut points:

  • If truancyADA < = .15, then fundingWDHDpresent = (0 * possibleADA)
  • If truancyADA > .15 but < .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (.50 * possibleADA)

  • If truancyADA > = .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (1.00 * possibleADA)

     

    Over-scheduled students: The ADA for over-scheduled students does not use the truancyADA; instead, it reflects Present Minutes up to the equivalent of the Standard Day. The fundingADA calculation for over-scheduled students is not kept in the Summary Table but is part of interim calculations that determine the fundingWDHDpresent value. For overscheduled students:

    • If Present Minutes > Standard Day Minutes, then Present Minutes = Standard Day minutes for purposes of calculating fundingADA.
    • If Present Minutes < Standard Day Minutes, then raw Present Minutes for purposes of calculating fundingADA.

WDHD Attendance Logic

The whole-day / half-day attendance model is designed to provide attendance values for reporting purposes. Attendance will be expressed as one of three values: whole-day present (1.0 present), half-day present (0.5 present) or not present (0.0 present).

This logic is based on ADA and Kentucky state mandates that define the acceptable values for whole-day, half-day attendance. The basic model for calculating whole-day / half-day attendance is as follows:

  1. Calculate the FTE-based ADA for a day. Jump to the "Calculating ADA" section
  2. Calculate FTE-based absent percentage for day. Jump to the "Calculating Percent Absent" section
  3. Apply rounding adjustments based on ADA and absent percentage values. Jump to the "Applying Rounding Logic" section
  4. Create the whole-day/half-day Present Days value for a day -- based on ADA and KY state-mandated cut points. Jump to the "Assigning WDHD Values" section

The Summary table (KYAttDailySummary) performs several complex calculations to determine student attendance values. The Summary table is a complex database table that houses all aggregated attendance reporting items and incorporates two underlying tables: CheckInCheckOut and KYAttendance. Please refer to the Attendance Summary Table section of this article for more information.

Reports will calculate the whole-day / half-day Absent Days value using a subtraction method.

Basic Attendance Elements

The following items are the basic elements used in more complex attendance calculations.

Attendance Element

Calculation

Absent Minutes

Calculated based on check-in / check-out times or whole-day values.

Absent Days

1.0 - truancyWDHDpresent

Partial Minutes

The total number of Standard Day Minutes for which a partial-day student is expected to be in attendance, based on his/her schedule and PAR group, including Non-Instructional Minutes. 

 

Partial Minutes only apply to students who have an active partial-day attendance group associated with a current enrollment. Please see the Partial-Day (PAR) Attendance Students section of this article for more information.

Present Minutes

Standard Day Minutes - Absent Minutes

 

For partial-day students, the calculation is Partial Minutes - Absent Minutes.

Present Days

Sum of WDHD present fields.

Scheduled Minutes

The total minutes in which a student is scheduled to attend classes. This total includes time counted as Non-Instructional Minutes but not time from Non-Instructional Periods or non-attendance courses.

Standard Day Minutes

Total number of minutes for all Standard Day periods (as designated on the Periods schedule). Standard Day periods must be contiguous. Includes minutes entered in the Non-Instructional Time field.

Calculate ADA

A student's calculated ADA will not exceed a value of 1.0.

Truancy ADA Calculation

Students' truancyADA values are based on the following calculation logic:

TruancyADA values are used in determining truancyWDHDpresent and fundingWDHDpresent values. These values compare the truancyADA to KY state-mandated cut points to determine the WDHD attendance value for a student.

Student Enrollment Type

Truancy ADA Calculation

Primary (Grades 01-14)

Present Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Over-scheduled (Grades 01-14)

Present Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Partial-Day (Grades 01-14)

Present Minutes /  Partial Minutes

Grade 00 Primary

Present Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Grade 00 Partial-Day

Present Minutes /  Partial Minutes

Funding ADA Calculation

Students' fundingADA values are based on the following calculation logic:

Students' fundingADA values are the same as the truancyADA values.

Student Enrollment Type

Funding ADA Calculation

Primary (Grades 01-14)

(same as truancyADA)
Present Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Over-scheduled (Grades 01-14)

  • *If Present Minutes > Standard Day Minutes, then Present Minutes = Standard Day Minutes
  • *If Present Minutes < or = to Standard Day Minutes, then Present Minutes = Present Minutes

Partial-Day (Grades 01-14)

Present Minutes /  Partial Minutes

Grade 00 Primary

(same as truancyADA)
Present Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Grade 00 Partial-Day

(same as truancyADA)
Present Minutes / Partial Minutes

PossibleADA Calculation

Students' possibleADA value represents the maximum percentage of a day that a student can be present, based on his/her schedule. It is based on the following calculation logic:

PossibleADA is a funding-based value and is not used in truancy calculations.

Student Enrollment Type

PossibleADA Calculation

Primary (Grades 01-14)

Scheduled Minutes / Standard Day Minutes

Over-scheduled (Grades 01-14)

Scheduled Minutes / Standard Day Minutes

 

This value is capped at a maximum of 1.0 to prevent over-scheduled students' ADA from exceeding 1.0.

Partial-Day (Grades 01-14)

Partial Minutes / Standard Day Minutes

 

A partial-day student who does not have the Full Funding checkbox marked on his/her enrollment may have an ADA of less than 1.0.

Grade 00 Primary

The possibleADA value is always 1.0.

Grade 00 Partial-Day

The possibleADA value is always 1.0.

Dual-Enrolled Students

A student is considered “dual-enrolled” if he/she meets all of the following criteria:

  • Has a primary enrollment with Service Type value of “P: Primary”
  • Has a secondary enrollment with a Service Type value of “S: Partial”
  • The first two items overlap by at least one day

Dual Enrollment Cap Logic

The student’s primary enrollment is treated normally, but the secondary enrollment is capped as follows:

  • If the student is fully enrolled in the primary enrollment (100% of that school’s standard day), the calculated Funding ADA and Possible ADA values for the secondary enrollment are capped at “0.” This way, the Possible ADA value does not exceed “1.0.”
  • If the student is partially enrolled in the primary school (less than 100% of that school’s standard day), then a cap is determined. 
    1. The possibleADAfor School 1 (primary enrollment school) is determined by dividing the student’s Scheduled Minutes by the primary school’s Standard Day Minutes.
      1. School 1: Student’s Scheduled Minutes = 315
        School 1: Standard Day Minutes = 420
        315 / 420 = .75
        Student’s Possible ADA for School 1 = .75 (indicating partial enrollment)
    2. The possibleADAfor School 1 is then subtracted from a value of “1” to determine the Dual Enrollment Capped Value.
      1. 1.0 - Possible ADA for School 1, or
        1.0 - .75 = .25
        Dual Enrollment Capped Value = .25
    3. The possibleADAfor School 2 (secondary enrollment school) is determined by dividing the student’s Scheduled Minutes by the secondary school’s Standard Day Minutes.
      1. School 2: Student’s Scheduled Minutes = 154
        School 2: Standard Day Minutes = 405
        154 / 405 = .38
        Student’s Possible ADA for School 2 = .38, BUT
        1. If the student’s possibleADAfor School 2 exceeds the Dual Enrollment Capped Value, the Dual Enrollment Capped Value is used as the Possible ADA for School 2. 
          1. Dual Enrollment Capped Value = .25
            .38 > .25, therefore Dual Enrollment Capped Value is used, making
            Student’s Possible ADA for School 2 = .25  Otherwise,
        2. If the student’s possibleADA for School 2 is less than the Dual Enrollment Capped Value, it remains the Possible ADA for School 2.

Virtual/Performance Students

Attendance for students in virtual/performance classes will not be included in reporting until a passing grade is posted to the grading task. At that point, students will receive 100% attendance for all enrolled days, assuming he/she receives a passing grade for the class.

Virtual/performance information is only reported on Record V of the SAAR report.

Cap Limit = 1.0 - possibleADA

The following logic relates to reporting Virtual/Performance information:

  • If the virtual/performance FTE Present Days value is < or = Cap Limit, it will be reported.
  • If the virtual/performance FTE Present Days value is > Cap Limit, the Cap Limit will be reported.
  • Virtual Minutes will be reported before Performance Minutes, if a cap is applied. If Virtual Minutes fill the cap before Performance Minutes can be applied, no Performance Minutes will be reported.
  • No virtual/performance values will be reported for fully scheduled students (these students possibleADA = 1.0 and Cap Limit = 0).

Calculating Percent Absent

Absent percentages are calculated as the detailAbsentTruancy value. This value is used in the FTE mode of truancy reports.

DetailAbsentTruancy Calculation

Students' whole-day / half-day detailAbsentTruancy values are based on the following calculation logic:

Student Enrollment Type

DetailAbsentTruancy Calculation

Primary (Grades 01-14)

Absent Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Over-scheduled (Grades 01-14)

Absent Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Partial-Day (Grades 01-14)

Absent Minutes /  Partial Minutes

Grade 00 Primary

Absent Minutes / Scheduled Minutes

Grade 00 Partial-Day

Absent Minutes /  Partial Minutes

Applying Rounding Logic

After the ADA and detailAbsentTruancy values have been calculated, rounding adjustments are applied to them. The purpose of the rounding adjustment logic is to ensure that the sum of the detailAbsent value and truancyADA value always equals 1.0. In addition, detail FTE fields on attendance reports will pull values from the detailAbsent field on the Summary table - allowing matching values across reports.

Basic Rounding Logic

Rounding adjustments are determined by the following method:

  1. The truancyADA is subtracted from a value of 1.0 (1.0 -truancyADA).
  2. Each detailAbsent value listed in the day is then subtracted from the value calculated in Step 1. 
  3. When all detailAbsentvalues have been subtracted, the remaining value is compared to these standards:
    • If the remainder is 0, no action is taken.
    • If the remainder is > 0 (positive value, e.g., 0.01), it will adjust the truancyADA accordingly (if the remainder value is 0.01, a truancyADA of .33 would become .34).
    • If the remainder is < 0 (negative value, e.g., -0.01) that remainder should adjust the last detailAbsent event of the day (if the remainder value is -0.01, the detailAbsent value of .11 would become .10).

These values must be recalculated every time a new attendance event is added on the given day; however, only the last detailAbsent value will ever be adjusted.

Assigning WDHD Values

ADA values are used in conjunction with the whole-day / half-day cut points mandated by KY state laws to assign a fundingWDHDpresent and truancyWDHDpresent value for each day. In addition, the detailAbsentTruancy value is calculated and used in attendance reports.

FundingWDHDPresent Value

The fundingWDHDpresent value considers a student's truancyADA value as compared to the WDHD cut points to determine attendance for a day. A student will have one of the following three values to represent his/her present attendance for a day:

  • 1.0 - Considered present for the whole day.
  • 0.5 - Considered present for half of the day (considered absent for half of the day).
  • 0.0 - Not counted as present for the day (considered absent for the whole day).

The logic for the fundingWDHDpresent value is as follows (for all students, all grades):

  • IffundingADA< or = to .15, then fundingWDHDpresent = 0.0 (calculated by taking 0.0 * possibleADA)
  • IffundingADA> .15 but < .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (0.5 * possibleADA)

  • If fundingADA > or = .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (1.0 * possibleADA)

    After the initial WDHD value is determined, it is multiplied by the possibleADA to determine the final WDHD value. This ensures that the WDHD value of partial-day students is properly adjusted. For most students, the possibleADA value is 1.0.

TruancyWDHDPresent Value

The logic for the truancyWDHDpresent value is as follows (all students, all grades):

  • IftruancyADA< or = .15, then truancyWDHDpresent = 0.0
  • IftruancyADA> .15 but < .65, then truancyWDHDpresent = 0.50
  • IftruancyADA> or = .65, then truancyWDHDpresent = 1.0

Attendance Code of WDHD Value

The last non-exempt attendance code of the day is set as the defining attendance code for WDHD values.

Tardies are always assigned the last attendance code of the day (e.g., if a student is unexcused absent for 10 minutes in the morning and excused absent 30 minutes in the afternoon, his/her single tardy counted for the day will be an excused tardy).

Attendance Summary Table

The KYAttDailySummary table (referred to as the “Summary Table” in this article) is a complex database table that houses all aggregated attendance reporting items. It incorporates two underlying tables: CheckInCheckOut and KYAttendance.

Viewing Entries in the Summary Table

The Summary Table organizes attendance by student, by day and by local attendance code. A student will have a record every day they are enrolled to establish both Present Minutes and Absent Minutes for that day, as well as total for all enrolled days. Each attendance event with a unique local code will trigger a new line in the table. In addition, each attendance event with a previously used local code (within the same day) will overwrite the previous line for that attendance code and summarize all data for it.

Screenshot of the Summary Table organizing attendance by student, by day, and by local attendance code.
Image 9: Summary Table

Only PAR attendance groups are captured in the Summary Table. Other attendance group data is pulled from the AttendanceGroupsKY table.

stateExclude

There are several ways to exclude a student from state reporting. If the State Exclude (enrollment), Exclude from State Reporting (grade level) or Exclude (calendar) checkbox apply to a student because of his/her enrollment, grade level or calendar, he/she will be excluded from all state reporting, including attendance.

State Exclude Flag possible values:

  • 0 or NULL = No Exclude (this is the default value)
  • 3 = Enrollment Exclude
  • 2 = Grade Exclude
  • 1 = Calendar Exclude
    The code of exclude will show for a student. If he/she is both calendar excluded and enrollment excluded, the summary table will return 3, as the enrollment level is the lowest level.

System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Exclude

absentMinutes

Absent Minutes for specific attendance events.

Student Information > General > Attendance > Attendance Event editor > Absent column

detailAbsentTruancy

This is a truancy value that contains the percent of a day a student is absent for a specific local attendance code. Reports will total a student's detailAbsentTruancy values for a day and then calculate the percent of the day that he/she was absent, as compared to his/her Scheduled Minutes. This will is used for the FTE mode of Truancy Reports.

  • Unexcused (UX) event: detailAbsentPercent = AbsentMinutes / ScheduledMinutes = 100/400 = .25
  • Excused (EX) event: detailAbsentPercentT = AbsentMinutes / ScheduledMinutes = 200/300 = .50 
      
    For example, if a student is scheduled for 400 minutes and he/she has two attendance events in a day -- an unexcused absence of 100 minutes and an excused absence of 200 minutes -- thedetailAbsentTruancy value would be as follows for each event: 
    • Unexcused (UX) event: 100/400 = .25
    • Excused (EX) event: 200/300 = .50

truancyADA

The Truancy ADA value.

Does not appear in user interface

fundingWDHDpresent

Contains the whole-day / half-day present days value for the given day. This value is determined by calculating an FTE value for the student's present attendance on the given day and then converting to WDHD via the following cut points:

  • If truancyADA < = .15, then fundingWDHDpresent = (0 * possibleADA)
  • If truancyADA > .15 but < .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (.50 * possibleADA)

  • If truancyADA > = .65, then fundingWDHDpresent = (1.00 * possibleADA)

     

    Over-scheduled students: The ADA for over-scheduled students does not use the truancyADA; instead, it reflects Present Minutes up to the equivalent of the Standard Day. The fundingADA calculation for over-scheduled students is not kept in the Summary Table but is part of interim calculations that determine the fundingWDHDpresent value. For overscheduled students:

  • If Present Minutes > Standard Day Minutes, then Present Minutes = Standard Day minutes for purposes of calculating fundingADA.
  • If Present Minutes < Standard Day Minutes, then raw Present Minutes for purposes of calculating fundingADA.

Does not appear in user interface

truancyWDHDpresent

Contains the result of the WDHD conversion:

  • If truancyADA < = .15, then truancyWDHDpresent = 0
  • If truancyADA > .15 but < .65, then truancyWDHDpresent = .50
  • If truancyADA > = .65, then truancyWDHDpresent = 1.00
