Challenge Academy (CA) Reporting: The PI-1563CA, Challenge Academy Report, is to be completed by each district that had students attending in either the Fall 2018 or current Spring 2019 semesters. The report is currently open and the due date is March 15, 2019. The CA is a program for at-risk youth operated by the Department of Military Affairs at Fort McCoy. Districts with residents enrolled should have received a letter from Fort McCoy identifying the residents that have been enrolled.

Resident districts are able to count for membership and revenue limit purposes the students that attend this program, as the district is financially responsible for the cost of this program for these students. The final equalization aid payment in June, 2019, is adjusted for the per-pupil cost.

To access the PI-1563 YCA report, log into your district’s SAFR portal at and go to either the “Status and Due Dates” or the “Non-Financial Data Home.” For each semester and for each resident listed, please answer the questions for the student names presented. Sometimes, these students will be in your seats on the count dates AND also attend the Challenge Academy. To ensure the students are not double-counted, we ask for additional information regarding each student’s enrollment dates in your school.

If any of the students are incorrectly listed as your residents or if you have any questions, please Roger Kordus at Roger.Kordus@dpi. or 608 267-3752.
