Additionally, though the state recently agreed to assist schools with lost funding due to lower-than-expected attendance rates, this assistance only applies to four out of six attendance reporting periods for the 2021-22 school year. Considering schools are funded based on average daily attendance, this still leaves districts with a massive loss for a third of the school year.
