92 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 2, § 006 - Student Membership and Attendance Reporting
The following standards are used for completing reports for the NDE
006.01
Membership. Students must be counted in membership in
their resident school district on the first day of their official enrollment.
Official enrollment is determined by each school district's criteria for
participation in classwork. A student is no longer a member of the school
district when a transfer to another school district is affected or if he/she
has withdrawn or graduated. The data from the NDE's approved data collection
system (e.g. ADVISER) is used to determine membership for individual
districts.
006.02
Attendance. Students must be counted in attendance
when they are present or participating in remote learning on days when school
is in session. A student must be counted present only when he or she is
actually at the school, is present at a school sponsored activity, or
participating in remote learning which is supervised or coordinated by a member
or members of the school staff. This may include authorized independent study,
work-study programs, field trips, athletic contests, music festivals, student
conventions, instruction for homebound students, summer school instructional
programs or similar activities when officially authorized under policies of the
local school board. It does not include "making up" school-work at home or
activities supervised or sponsored by private individuals or groups.
006.02A Attendance at the school district
level must be collected at least daily and calculated to the nearest hundredth
of a day.
006.02B School districts
must maintain a cumulative attendance and membership record for each
student.
006.02C The cumulative
attendance and membership record must contain the date of enrollment, number of
days or partial days in attendance and absent during each school year enrolled,
and the date of withdrawal or graduation.
006.03
Aggregate Days of
Attendance. This is the sum of the days in attendance (to the
nearest tenth hundredth) of all students when school was actually in session
during a given reporting period.
006.04
Average Daily
Attendance. The aggregate days of attendance of a school during a
reporting period divided by the total possible number of days school is in
session during this period. Only days on which the students are under the
guidance and direction of school staff should be considered as days in session
(see
006.07). The average daily
attendance for a group of schools having varying lengths of terms is the sum of
the average daily attendances obtained for the individual schools
students.
006.05
Aggregate Days of Absence. Aggregate Days of Absence
is derived by determining, to the nearest tenth hundredth of a day, the total
days of absence for all students.
006.06
Aggregate Days of
Membership. This number represents (to the nearest tenth
hundredth) the aggregate number of days students could have been in class. It
is derived by totaling the aggregate days of attendance and aggregate days of
absence.
006.07
Days in
Session. This number is (to the nearest tenth hundredth ) the
actual number of days school is in session with teachers and students present,
this may vary from what was originally planned. Only days on which the students
are under the direction of school staff will be considered days in session. In
grade levels where one or more students were enrolled full-time for only part
of the school year and no students were enrolled for the remainder, use the
same number of days in session as though the students would have been enrolled
for the entire year.
