Pupils between the ages of three and five years old who are eligible for free and reduced lunches and who attend the early childhood education program are included in the District’s calculation of average daily attendance.  If a pupil who is eligible for free and reduced price lunch leaves the early childhood program during the school year, the District may fill the vacant enrollment spot with another pupil between the ages of three and five who is also eligible for free and reduced lunch without affecting the District’s calculation of average daily attendance.

The total number of three and five year olds included in the District’s calculation of average daily attendance must not exceed four percent (4%) of the total number of students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch between the ages of three and eighteen who are included in the District’s average daily attendance.
