Did you know Stoneman funding is linked to scholar attendance?
Average Daily Attendance (ADA) refers to the total number of days students attend divided by the total number of school days.
ADA and funding: California schools recieve funding based on their ADA. The state uses ADA to determine how much money each school district and charter school recieves.
