CTED Reporting - Tuition Payer Code 9

CTEDs should be prepared to report students in a Regionally Identified High Need program* must be reported to AzEDS Portal with Tuition Payer code 9 to receive correct ADM funding.

Students that meet this criterion must be reported as Tuition Payer code 9 to AzEDS Portal:

• A 9th-grade student enrolled in a Regionally Identified High-Need program.
• Continuation students that have graduated from the member site but will continue in CTED for immediate subsequent year after their reported graduation.
  • Continuation students (Grade 13) should be reported as 12th graders due to AzEDS reporting limitation. 

Grade 9 CTED students may generate funding when the student reaches the 40th day of grade 11 and is enrolled in an approved CTED program. Enrollment must be reported on the AzEDS Instructional Calendar for the 40th instructional day. While students can receive funding for 9th grade or the year after their graduation, they are prohibited from receiving CTED funding for more than four years, even if they attend more than one CTED.

 School Finance will verify students' participation in the Regionally Identified High-Need program by using student data reported to AzEDS with a tuition payer code 9 to calculate the appropriate ADM payment in the subsequent fiscal years. For example, if the 9th grade student in FY2026, remains enrolled in the program in FY2028 as an 11th grader, the ADM will be calculated in FY2028. 

*Regionally Identified High Need programs are identified by the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and approved by the Arizona Career and Technical Education Quality Commission (ACTEQC).
