With the launch of the **Attendance Recovery (AR) program**, districts now have a new way to recoup state funding while giving students engaging opportunities to succeed. At Technology in Education (TIE), we believe **ActiveFloor** is the perfect tool to meet this moment. --- ## What is Attendance Recovery? The **California Department of Education’s Attendance Recovery program** (established under Senate Bill 153 and SB 176) allows schools and districts to regain funding tied to student absences. - Students can make up missed instructional time by attending **supplementary sessions outside the regular school day**—before or after school, weekends, or during intersession breaks. - Districts can claim apportionment for up to **10 days of absences per student, per year**, provided the sessions meet program requirements. - Instruction must be **aligned to grade-level standards** and supervised by certificated teachers. This program gives local educational agencies (LEAs) an excellent opportunity to recover lost ADA (Average Daily Attendance) funding while re-engaging students academically. --- ## Why ActiveFloor is a Perfect Fit **ActiveFloor** is an interactive learning platform that combines physical activity with academic instruction. Students use a large, floor-based touch-sensitive projection to play games, solve problems, and engage in collaborative learning. For **grades K–6**, ActiveFloor provides: - **Standards-aligned instructional activities** in math, literacy, and STEAM. - **High engagement** through movement-based, gamified lessons. - **Expanded Learning opportunities** that blend seamlessly into afterschool or weekend sessions. Because Attendance Recovery requires **in-person instruction that is substantially equivalent to the student’s regular instructional program**, ActiveFloor is an ideal solution. It ensures students are learning, moving, and engaged—all while satisfying state requirements for attendance recovery. --- ## Funding ActiveFloor Through Attendance Recovery Here’s where the opportunity gets even stronger: 1. **Schools or districts can recoup ADA funding through AR participation.** Each student who makes up an absence in an AR program translates into restored funding. 2. **Recovered funds can offset the cost of ActiveFloor.** By implementing ActiveFloor in expanded learning programs, schools can justify the investment as an **attendance recovery strategy** that pays for itself. 3. **Dual benefits with Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELO-P).** AR and ELO-P can run in conjunction, meaning districts can maximize resources while improving student outcomes. In other words: ActiveFloor not only delivers **student engagement and academic progress**, it also helps districts access **new revenue streams** to cover the cost. --- ## A Practical Example Imagine a district with 1,000 elementary students. If 20% of them participate in just **five AR sessions** throughout the year, that could mean hundreds of days of attendance recovered—translating into **tens of thousands of dollars** in restored funding. With that revenue, a district could fully implement ActiveFloor in its expanded learning programs, creating a sustainable model where the tool effectively funds itself. --- ## The Takeaway Attendance Recovery is more than a compliance measure—it’s an opportunity. By integrating **ActiveFloor** into expanded learning, California schools can: - Recover funding from lost attendance. - Provide engaging, activity-based instruction that students love. - Create sustainable, long-term investments in innovative learning tools. At Technology in Education, we’re committed to helping districts design AR and ELO-P programs that both enrich student learning and maximize fiscal efficiency. --- 👉 If your district is exploring Attendance Recovery, let’s talk about how **ActiveFloor** can make it a win-win for both students and schools. ---   ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Ftechineducation.com%2Fblog%2Fattendance-recovery-funding-invest-in-activefloor-for-k-8](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Ftechineducation.com%2Fblog%2Fattendance-recovery-funding-invest-in-activefloor-for-k-8) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://techineducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20features%20a%20vibrant%20and%20modern%20classroom%20setting%20filled%20with%20natural%20light%20streaming%20through%20large%20windows%20Students%20of%20diverse%20backgrounds%20are%20engaged%20with%20various%20educational%20technologies%20such%20as%20interactive%20whiteboards%20and%20tablets%20while%20a.png?width=1024&height=1024&name=The%20image%20features%20a%20vibrant%20and%20modern%20classroom%20setting%20filled%20with%20natural%20light%20streaming%20through%20large%20windows%20Students%20of%20diverse%20backgrounds%20are%20engaged%20with%20various%20educational%20technologies%20such%20as%20interactive%20whiteboards%20and%20tablets%20while%20a.png) TIE Becomes an Official Partner of the Small School District Association (SSDA)](https://techineducation.com/blog/tie-becomes-an-official-partner-of-the-small-school-district-association-ssda) ### [![](https://techineducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20modern%20school%20hallway%20brightly%20lit%20and%20bustling%20with%20students%20On%20one%20wall%20a%20digital%20display%20screen%20shows%20the%20text%20Alyssas%20Law%20Safety%20First%20alongside%20a%20graphic%20of%20a%20shield%20symbolizing%20protection%20In%20the%20foreground%20a%20group%20of%20student-1.png?width=1024&height=1024&name=The%20image%20depicts%20a%20modern%20school%20hallway%20brightly%20lit%20and%20bustling%20with%20students%20On%20one%20wall%20a%20digital%20display%20screen%20shows%20the%20text%20Alyssas%20Law%20Safety%20First%20alongside%20a%20graphic%20of%20a%20shield%20symbolizing%20protection%20In%20the%20foreground%20a%20group%20of%20student-1.png) verkada Supporting Alyssa’s Law with Verkada: How Technology in Education Can Help Keep Students Safe](https://techineducation.com/blog/supporting-alyssas-law-with-verkada-how-technology-in-education-can-help-keep-students-safe) [![](https://techineducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo_Pag_sin_fondo-1.png?width=531&height=295&name=Logo_Pag_sin_fondo-1.png)](https://www.techineducation.com) - [Products](https://techineducation.com/blog/attendance-recovery-funding-invest-in-activefloor-for-k-8#products) - [Services](https://techineducation.com/services) - [About Us](https://techineducation.com/aboutus) - [Blog](https://techineducation.com/blog) --- Privacy Policy · Legal · © 2025 Technology In Education, Inc.
