(A12B) CLASS AND STAFFING FORM
School Year 2019-2020
Data Collection Location: Complete this data collection through the Education Statistics System (ESS) in the MyNHDOE Single Sign-On System.
Instructions: Please complete this form based on classes and staffing as of October 1, 2019. PLEASE NOTE – The 2019-2020 Data Collection INCLUDES SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF. There will be no separate SPED Personnel Data Collection.
Due Date: October 15, 2019
Certified: Yes – Superintendent must certify the data.
NUMBER OF CLASSES: Report the number of classes for grades R through 8. If a classroom is regular ed multi-grade, please prorate the class to the nearest hundredth based on the number of students.
For example, if there were 4 first graders and 16 second graders in a classroom, it would result in the following:
4 + 16 = 20 4 divided by 20 = 0.20 16 divided by 20 = 0.80
You would report 0.20 classes under grade 1 and 0.80 classes under grade 2.
For middle school grades, report the number of classes only if the students receive a majority of their instruction as a group in the same class. If students rotate classes during the day, please leave the field zero (note: “N/A” will not be accepted by ESS).
STAFFING:
a. Round all FTEs to the nearest tenth.
b. Include only filled positions; do not count vacant positions.
c. In this section, the elementary column should include preschool, kindergarten, and grade 7 and 8 personnel. Please include only grades 9-12 in the secondary school column.
d. Record all personnel in full‑time equivalency (FTE). FTE is the amount of time allocated to an assignment stated as a proportion of a full‑time position. It is computed by dividing the number of work hours for an individual by the number of full-time hours for that position. Part‑time positions should also be reported in full‑time equivalency. For example, if the normal teaching load is four courses, a teacher with only one course would be reported at .3 (.25 rounded to one digit).
e. An employee having more than one assignment should be counted in terms of full-time equivalency in each assignment. For example, if the full-time work day is 7 hours and a person works 3.5 hours per day as a teacher and 2 hours as a guidance counselor he should be counted as 0.5 teacher and 0.3 guidance counselor.
