How districts are recovering ADA funding—and saving teacher time—with turnkey support
As chronic absenteeism rises and budgets tighten, school districts are under pressure to recover instructional time and generate ADA through approved weekend programs. But launching a compliant, engaging Saturday program takes more than a teacher and a worksheet.
Districts across California are turning to fully managed Saturday solutions to recover funding without overloading staff.
Here’s why it’s time to act—and how turnkey support makes all the difference.
1. Teachers Don’t Have Time to Build a Saturday Program
Designing standards-aligned curriculum, tracking attendance for audits, and managing meals or materials—it’s more than most site teams can take on.
Kodely handles it all. From instructor staffing to content delivery and compliance tracking, we take Saturday off your plate.
2. You Can Recover ADA Dollars Legally—If You Follow the Rules
According to California’s Education Code, districts can claim ADA on weekends—but only if:
- Classes meet minimum instructional time
- A certificated instructor is present
- Activities mirror weekday instruction
- Attendance is correctly recorded and auditable
We ensure compliance. Kodely sessions are built to meet every CDE requirement, and we assist with bookkeeping and audit prep.
3. Curriculum Must Be Engaging—Or Students Won’t Show Up
If students view Saturday as punishment, they won’t attend. And without attendance, there’s no ADA recovery.
Kodely’s Saturday programs are built around STEM, entrepreneurship, and career-connected learning—so students want to come back.
4. It’s About More Than Credit Recovery—It’s Attendance Strategy
Saturday enrichment is not just for truants. Schools can invite any student who missed time and recapture the lost instructional value.
Our model helps districts:
- Improve attendance rates
- Boost engagement
- Align with LCFF and LCAP priorities
5. It’s Fully Fundable
Our Saturday programs align with:
- ELO-P
- ADA Recovery
- LCAP
- College & Career Indicator (CCI)
No need to search for new funds—we align with what you already have.
