NEW ANSWER: Its actually calculated by taking the aggregate attendance (the total number of days every child attended all year) and dividing it by the total number of days in session.

I don't know the answer to this, but I do know that I pressured to currently send my 10 year old daughter to school WITH THE FLU because of the "Average Daily Attendance $$$" that our public school receives. Because she has already used her allotted absences for the period, she MUST attend school, even if sick, or she "will not get credit for her 9 weeks period". Some schools even report the parents to the District Attorney. Never mind that: 1. It is the height of flu season 2. She is going to school WITH THE FLU and thereby reinfecting other students 3. She makes STRAIGHT A'S Dontcha just LOVE public schools?!!)))))))))))) Well, that may be the case. Do you know that every time they do a head count and your child is not there, they lose up to five thousand dollars? So, if you take each person that misses, approx. 30 or more, and multiply by five thousand, you have $150,000. So next time you talk crap about the public schools, keep that in mind. Each time your little child stays home, that is another dollar they could have gave me a raise with or bought better books for your child.
