§ 14022 Student Enrollment Calculation Rules

This law tells the state how to count students for funding rules – it says what counts as “enrollment” for colleges and K‑12 schools.

Key Takeaways

•Enrollment is a mix of college FTE numbers and K‑12 daily attendance numbers.
•Special‑service students who aren’t counted in daily attendance still get added in as “equivalents.”
•The numbers are first taken from past actual data, then estimated for the next year and tweaked as new data comes in.

Example

A community college has 5,000 full‑time equivalent students and the local K‑12 district has 10,000 kids showing up each day plus 500 extra kids who get services but aren’t counted in daily attendance.

The law says you add the college’s full‑time equivalents, the school district’s daily attendance, and the extra service kids together to get the total enrollment used for budgeting.

How to Calculate

Enrollment = (Full‑time equivalent students in community colleges) + (Average daily attendance in school districts) + (Average daily attendance equivalents for services not counted)

Find the number of full‑time equivalent (FTE) students in the community college district.
Find the average daily attendance (ADA) number for the K‑12 school district.
Find any ADA equivalents for services that aren’t counted in the regular ADA.
Add the three numbers together to get the total enrollment.

Community college has 5,000 FTE students; K‑12 district has 10,000 ADA; there are 500 ADA equivalents for special services.

Result: Enrollment = 5,000 + 10,000 + 500 = 15,500 students

(a) For the purposes of Section 8 and Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, ’enrollment’ shall mean: (1) In community college districts, full-time equivalent students receiving services, and (2) In school districts, average daily attendance when students are counted as average daily attendance and average daily attendance equivalents for services not counted in average daily attendance. (b) Determination of enrollment shall be based upon actual data from prior years and for the next succeeding year such enrollments shall be estimated enrollments adjusted for actual data as actual data becomes available. (Added November 8, 1988, by initiative Proposition 98, Sec. 11.)
