Enrollment & Aggregate Hours Collection begins
Monday, February 3. Districts will report spring
count date aggregate hours for all students
enrolled on 2/3/2025, or the first school day that

submitted to the OPI prior to the official
enrollment count date for consideration of
inclusion of the student in the enrollment count
for ANB purposes beyond the 10th day of
absence.

due the 10

submitted in the Montana Agreement and
Payments System (MAPS) for National School
Lunch Program (NSLP) or Summer Food Service
