To be eligible for an increase in expenditure capacity and state aid, all FY2025 15-915 requests must be submitted by June 01, 2026, to ensure all data changes/corrections are completed before June 30, 2026.
Requests completed after June 30, 2026, are outside the subsequent fiscal year and are not eligible for increased expenditure capacity and state aid.

Year two (2) and three (3) corrections made within the 2nd and 3rd prior year may decrease expenditure capacity and state aid. Under A.R.S. § 15-915, no increases may result from FY2023 and FY2024 student data corrections.

For additional information and instructions on submitting a request, see the Guidelines for Requesting Prior Year Corrections to State Aid or Budget Capacity (A.R.S. § 15-915) posted here: /finance/school-finance-external-guidelines. 
 

The window for districts to submit transportation Vehicle Inventory data is open until July 15, 2026.

The FY2027 calculation of TSL is dependent on Vehicle Inventory data. Reports will generate at https://schoolfinancereports.azed.gov/ after data has been entered and saved. Failure to enter and save both Route and Inventory data may cause unexpected funding changes. Charters are not required to submit transportation data.

The following resources have been created to assist in submitting transportation data:

• Transportation Data Submission Video
• Transportation FAQ
• Transportation and Vehicle Inventory Application Manual

Please review the resources prior to submitting your transportation data. If additional assistance is needed, please submit a HelpDesk ticket. 

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).

To help districts and charters finalize their May 15th Expenditure Budget revisions, School Finance has put together updated preliminary annual FRPL, DAA, CAA, and Prop 123 one time funding apportionment amounts.

The data that was used for the FRPL, DAA, and CAA supplemental payment values come from the preliminary data for the FY26 May state aid payments using the AzEDS data capture date of April 15th, 2026. The data that was used for the Prop 123 supplemental payment values come from the preliminary data for the FY26 April Classroom Site Fund payment.
 
Please note that these values are not the final values that will be used for the second payment of these apportionments. Data based on the FY26 June state aid payments that use the 5/15/2026 data capture date will be used to finalize payment 2 for the FRPL, DAA, and CAA supplemental fundings. Data based on the FY26 June Classroom Site Fund payment will be used to finalize payment 2 for the Prop 123 supplemental funding. As a result, the finalized data is subject to change compared to the values provided in the spreadsheet.

Please see this spreadsheet for the updated preliminary values: FRPL, DAA, CAA, and Prop 123 One Time Funding Update
