In accordance with A.R.S.15-915.B, School Finance has recalculated state aid payments for school districts that have been impacted by the Qasimyar vs Maricopa County judgement. More information about this judgement can be found on the Maricopa County Assessor’s website. This judgement impacted tax years 2015-2023, which caused adjustments in fiscal years 2016-2024 state aid payments for impacted districts.

The sum of each fiscal year’s calculated adjusted amounts is included in the fiscal year 2025 January state aid payment as current month adjustments on the BSA-64 report. These reports can be found on the School Finance website.

The calculated amount for each fiscal year and district in Maricopa County can also be found on the spreadsheet linked below.

Please contact the School Finance payment at [email protected] for any questions regarding the adjustment. Thank you!

School Finance budget reports (Budg-25, Budg-75, AGD, Budg-25 Letter, Budg-75 Letter, and TNT) are now located on the same website where SDER, transportation, and payment reports are accessed: Local Education Agency Reports - ADE School Finance Reports

There is now a section titled “School District Budget Reports” located between the basic state aid reports and transportation reports.

These reports are titled with the month that corresponds to the related basic state aid report and the date the report was published. The reports will be posted in order with the most recently published report, similar to the BSA-55 and BSA-64 reports.

Please contact the Budget Team ([email protected]) if you have any questions.

Payment 6 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. Data in AzEDS will be used to calculate ADM for Payment 6.

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: FY25 Calendars need to be submitted, approved, and certified for ADM and funding to be generated.
