ADM: Average Daily Membership Data¶
This section covers questions related to DC05 - Tuition Students Official & DC06 - Fall ADM Official
I'm assuming that ADM is Average Daily Membership requires the average time a studentstudents spends at school for a DAY?¶
The ADM calculation bases part time students using the number of hours the student is expected in school per week as reported in the tuitioned student and fall census collection.
Please note different grades have a different # of hours to be considered full time. For example, PK, KP or KF student is considered full time if they attend 10 or more hours per week. 1st and 2nd graders 20 hours per week and grades 3-12 must have 27.5 hours per week. If you are looking at different grades, this would be the reason.
The ADM file asks for ADM begin date, but not end date? If a student leaves mid- year, how will you calculate the ADM correctly?¶
The ADM end date is calculated based on several variables (including each school’s begin date, holidays, and student enrollment/grade-level begin dates). Thus, the calculation determines the end date for each unique ADM record and there is no need to provide it. The calculation then prorates accordingly to make sure each record is assigned the appropriate value to account for situations like disputed enrollments (until those are worked out between districts through the system), statutorily allowed overlap, and differing school calendars/ADM periods.
What is the difference between a Tuitioned Student and School Choice Student Scenarios?¶
A tuitioned student can be defined in two ways:
A student from another town/district enrolling in one of your public schools AND/OR
A tuitioned student from your town/district that is tuitioned to a VT Approved Independent School or Out of State school.
There are several Tuition Student scenarios in VT.
A student tuitioned by the town/SU/SD to a VT Approved Independent School = DC05
A student tuitioned by the town/SU/SD to an out of state school = DC05
A student tuitioned by a parent to attend an independent school = N/A
A student tuitioned from one town to attend a different public school = DC06
Not to be confused with school choice.
Vermont has several towns with school choice based on the student’s town of residence
If Independent / Out of State School = DC05
If Vermont Public School = DC06
Vermont’s School Choice/formally known as ACT 150 = DC06
A student that attends one of our public schools but comes from another district (and therefore is paid for by that district)?¶
this student would be reported in your DC#03_NightlyCollection_Unofficial, DC#04_YearEndCollection_Official,as part of DC#06 FALL_ADM_Official, DC#07 and DC#07 Spring_Official04 within yourthe public school ENRORGID.
A tuitioned student would be included in each of our student templates as a member of our counted school population?¶
If this student is enrolled in one of your public schools, yes (actually 8 datasets for official submissions)

Tuitioned Student Census?
Each Supervisory Union/School District will be responsible for reporting students tuitioned from their towns similarly to the current Tuitioned Student Census collection that most Business Managers, assistants or support staff complete/compile.
The tuitioned census piece of the VTSLDS is comprised of two components (that will be submitted/compiled in three flat files)
1. Aggregate ELL counts
a. Number of ELL students in each town
b. Number of ELL students within these towns that are eligible for 3 squares previously known as food stamps.
2. Students tuitioned to VT Independent Schools or Out of State Schools.
a. Student name
b. Student DOB
c. Student Grade
d. Student town of residence
e. Where the student is attending (address of school if school is out of state)
f. How many days (0-20) the student is tuitioned during the ADM period.
g. Whether a student is full or part time
h. Whether a student is a resident or state placed student.
For any student attending a Vermont Public High School. The Public High School is required to complete the VR SLDS enrollment information for these students, this collection is a list of students enrolled in their school(s) and is similar to the current Public School Census.
For any tuitioned student attending a Vermont Independent School. The Independent School is required to complete the Independent Student Census, this collection is a list of students enrolled in their school on October 1.
Please clarify a field for me? In the PS_ADMASM collection the field is ADMTYP and the options are resident or state placed. Does the state placed mean the state has placed the student in foster care or does it mean the student is not a resident but thethey state put them in our district?¶
State placed means both scenarios in most cases.
For collection submission files - what constitutes a state placed student ? DCF custody (Y/N) ?¶
We use the definition in Vermont State Statute.
16 V.S.A §11 (28): Definition of State Placed Student
(A) A Vermont pupil who has been placed in a school district other than the district of residence of the pupil’s parent, parents, or guardian or in an approved residential facility by a Vermont state agency, or any other agency as defined by the Secretary, or
(B) A Vermont pupil who:
(i) is 18 years of age or older,
(ii) is living in a community residence as a result of placement by a Vermont state agency, a Vermont licensed child placement agency or a designated community mental health agency, and whose residential costs are paid for in whole or in part by one of these agencies, and
(iii) resides in a school district other than the district of the pupil’s parent or parents, or
(C) A pregnant or postpartum pupil attending school at an approved education program in a residential facility or outside the school district of residence pursuant to subsection 1073(b) of this title.
I’ve certified my DC05 and DC06 submissions, how do I verify ADM?¶
SU/SDs are able to verify preliminary ADM / Equilized Pupil Calc once your SU/SD has loaded your DC#05 and/or DC#06 submissions error free (with the exception of dataset 5A) you may be do by doing the following within edFusion;
