District 2 has a higher ADA than District 1. However, the Weighted Average Daily Attendance (WADA) is higher for District 1 due to the higher % of students that are identified in special programs. The student count is weighted to adjust for funding purposes due to the costs of meeting the educational needs of the students in the special programs.
