Data Capture Reminder – 08/15/2026

Data Capture Reminder – 08/15/2026

Data in AzEDS will be used to calculate ADM for Payment 3.

Payment 3 will be based on data captured that is passing integrity and generating ADM in AzEDS. There is no option for districts to be paid on prior year data, or for charters to be paid on estimated counts.

Please ensure data is reconciled and free of integrity errors prior to the data capture date. Review the following reports in AzEDS:

  • INTEG15 – ensure data is free and clear of membership ADM Integrity errors
  • STUD10 – validate all students are listed in AzEDS
  • ADM15 – ensure all students expected to generate funding are indicated as fundable
  • ADM20, SPED20, and EL20 – ensure ADM amounts for each ADM type 


Important Note: FY27 Calendars need to be submitted, passing integrity, and certified for ADM and funding to be generated.
