Charter,
Regional and UNC Lab Schools with current enrollment - ONLY
Phase
I: Average Daily Membership (ADM) Projection - Initial Submission for School
Year 2018-19
ALL charter
school Executive Directors are required to submit between January 16 – 23, 2018 the Charter School ADM
Projection System (CSADM), Phase I - ADM Projection Initial Submission for
School Year 2018-19.
Phase I
requires the following field to be completed: Requested 2018-19 ADM. This represents a projection of the number of students who will be in membership for
2018-19.
This
submission is required even if your school has requested State Board approval
for growth higher than 20%, you must respond to this request.
The CSADM Projection
System is accessible at any of the following links:
CSADM website: https://schools.nc.gov/csadm
The Financial and Business Services, Charter Schools Financial
Operations, CSADM, http://www.ncpublicschools.org/fbs/charterschools/
As this
impacts your schools funding, we will
only accept information submitted by the Head of School.
The Charter Schools ADM Projection System (CSADM) is an online system
designed to assist each charter school with improving the accuracy of key
components in the budgeting process, projected AD< and grades served
request. The projected ADM projects the number of students who will be in
membership for the fiscal school year, 2018 – 19 and grades served should
capture any planned grade level expansion or reduction for the 2018 – 19 school
year. This information is critical to
the budget process and ensures adequate funding and minimal disruption to
charter schools and LEA funding
To access
the system, the Executive Director will need a North Carolina Identity
Management identification (NCID) login. If you do not have an NCID, you must
contact the Charter Schools' NCID administrator to set up an account for you. A
directory of charter school NCID administrators is available at https://www.ncid.its.state.nc.us/LEAListing.asp .
DPI cannot
assign an NCID or reset NCID passwords.
If you have
questions concerning CSADM, please contact Angela Harrison in the Division of
School Business at 919-807-3734 or angela.harrison@dpi.nc.gov.

The General Assembly approved a hospitalization rate
of $5,869, however the State Health Plan will NOT adjust their rates until
January 1, 2018. The new employer health rates are effective January 2018.
However, since December premiums are for January coverage,
LEAs should change the employer rate in December for payment in January
2018. The benefit amount provided by the State Health Plan is $498.68.
