Pupil Accounting (SASI)
The primary purpose of the Pupil Accounting System is to classify each pupil in the South Carolina public school system into one of the pupil classifications described in the Education Finance Act (EFA). Membership and attendance is collected at the 45th and 135th days of school. Districts receive EFA funding based on the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of the district.
Student Accountability (SASI)
The primary purpose of the Student Accountability System is to obtain a cumulative head count of eligible students served in Early Childhood programs, Gifted and Talented programs, and Advanced Placement programs. Data is collected on the 45th and 135th days of school.
Student Headcount is a "snap-shot" count of actively enrolled students that is taken at three points during the year: the 45th day, 135th day, and 180th day. These counts satisfy state and federal data reporting needs and include distributions by school and district for grade, gender and race/ethnicity (district only).
