The Growth Factor Report is due to KDE ten (10) days after the last day of the second school month, but not later than November 1 of each school year. This report includes the following information for the first two (2) school months: aggregate days’ attendance and absence; race and gender count; adjustments for less than full-time attendance (Partial Day); nonresident/non-contract students; and overage and underage students. All information is reported by school, grade level, and by transportation code.
The Growth Factor report should be submitted via the Kentucky Department of Education website. This method of submission improves the process by allowing a district to immediately see the results of any errors present in the report.
The link for submission is http://odss.education.ky.gov/growthfactor/. The growth factor submission page can also be found on the KDE website. Enter http://www.education.ky.gov and navigate to: Administrative Resources | Finance and Funding | School Finance | Attendance Data | Growth Factor Reports. Once on the page please follow the steps accordingly.
