FY 2023 Monthly Payment and AzEDS Processing Schedule

FY 2023 Monthly Payment and AzEDS Processing Schedule Every month, ADE uses student data submitted by districts and charters to calculate Average Daily Membership (ADM). ADM is used as the basis for state aid funding. Districts and charters submit student data to AzEDS, and ADM is calculated in the ADM Calculation Engine (ACE). The student data must reside within AzEDS on time to be included in the scheduled Integrity and ACE processing for each month’s payment. 

*For FY 2023 prior year data or charter estimated counts may be used.

AzEDS Processing Schedule

Current year AzEDS Integrity will run nightly, regardless of the monthly payment processing schedule. Integrity is scheduled every weeknight and will include data submitted to AzEDS up until 5 p.m. ACE is scheduled to run immediately after Integrity each night.

Use of Prior-Year Data and Charter Estimated Counts

In FY 2023, the first two payments of the year may be calculated based on prior-year data for districts or charter estimated counts for charters in the absence of AzEDS data. Beginning with the third payment, AzEDS data is required and districts and charters that have not submitted AzEDS data will not generate a payment. Payments based on ACE results first require that a certified calendar that passes AzEDS Integrity has been submitted. To allow time for certification of calendars, the API for FY 2023 will be available starting June 1, 2022.

FY 2023 Statewide Recalculation

The final submission deadline for FY 2023 data is July 15, 2023 at 5 p.m. Any adjustments from FY 2023 Statewide Recalculation will be applied to payments in FY 2024.
