You’ve been invited to an online session: Understanding Non-Fundable Intervals

Beginning FY 2026, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) implemented updates to how non-fundable intervals (NFI) are calculated in AzEDS. In this session, you will learn the criteria for an NFI, which is generated when a student has both an "absence threshold" and an "attendance block". We will also review the AzEDS Portal reports you can use to ensure data accuracy.

Who should attend:

• District and Charter Business Managers
• Attendance and Enrollment Coordinators (AzEDS Coordinators)
• Anyone involved in School Finance and student data reporting

We look forward to having you attend the event!
