Failure to submit timely general apportionment data.
In the event any school district, charter school, or educational service district fails to submit data by the due date established or in the form required by the superintendent of public instruction and the data are unavailable for calculations pursuant to this chapter or the biennial Operating Appropriations Act, the superintendent of public instruction shall either:

If the superintendent of public instruction agrees that extenuating circumstances exist and if the tentative report is received in time for the calculations, the superintendent of public instruction may use such tentative report for calculations and payments until such time as the district or charter school submits the final required data: Provided, That a tentative report shall not be used for more than one monthly apportionment calculation without consent of the superintendent of public instruction.

Failure to meet CEDARS submission requirements.
School districts, charter schools, tribal schools, and other local education agencies receiving state funds who fail to meet CEDARS reporting requirements as outlined in the annual CEDARS data manual are subject to the following course of action. Upon the superintendent of public instruction's determination that a local education agency has failed to meet CEDARS reporting requirements, the superintendent will provide notice of the determination to the local education agency. The local education agency will have ninety days from the receipt of the notice to correctly report CEDARS data. If the local education agency's failure to meet CEDARS reporting requirements is not corrected within forty-five days of the superintendent's first notice, the superintendent will provide a second notice to the local education agency. The second notice will describe the superintendent's determination and will identify the deadline for corrective action.
