J-13A Request Roundtable (2024)

Each year, hundreds of local educational agencies (LEAs) are forced to close school(s) or experience material losses in attendance due to emergency events like unforeseen inclement weather, wildfires, and health emergencies. To avoid losses of funding due to reductions in average daily attendance (ADA), LEAs can submit requests, referred to as J-13A requests, to the California Department of Education (CDE). An approved J-13A request provides credit to LEAs for lost instructional time in the case of school closures and credit for losses in attendance for material losses of ADA. This roundtable will cover the conditions under which a J-13A request can be submitted and all required elements needed for CDE approval.
