Staffing Information:

The total numbers in this section should represent ALL the personnel involved in operating the total school program. Volunteers and locally funded personnel should be included. It is about function—not money. The sections are divided by Administrators, Teachers, and Staff.

Color coded boxes should match in totaled amounts.

Within the Staff Account page, the following fields must be completed for accurate personnel numbers in the opening report:

1 Gender

From the Gender drop down menu, select the gender of the staff member.

2 Highest Degree

From the Highest Degree drop down menu, select the staff members highest degree.

3 Religious Affiliation

If the staff member is a Seventh-day Adventist, select the check box next to Is Seventh-day Adventist. Additionally, enter the name of the church the staff member holds membership in using the Home Church field.

4 FTE Classification

Choose a classification from the
FTE Classification drop down menu.

5 Equivalent

Enter an Equivalent number (see instructions below)

You may add more than one classification. Be sure that the equivalents equal 1.0.

It's important to know whether a particular staff member is counted as Support Staff.

How to calculate FTE

Academy Teachers: Calculate by class periods (how many taught out of a full load). Example: If a full load is six classes and you teach one class, you would be 1/6 or 0.17 Teacher FTE.

Elementary Teachers: Calculate by dividing number of hours a week teaching/working by 38.

Support staff and Administrators: Calculate by dividing the number of hours worked in a specific category by 38. Example, if a person spends 30 hours a week as an administrator and 8 hours as a teacher, FTE would be calculated as follows: 30/38 = 0.79 (78.94%) for administrative, and 8/38 = 0.21 (21.06%) for instructional.

Notes

• Full-time equivalent (FTE) fields are to be expressed as a fractional percent of the load normally expected of a full-time (100% or 1.0) staff person.
• Support staff = non-administrative, non-teaching staff regardless if hourly or salary.
• Staff Titles: NAD has a defined list of staff titles. Please consult the staff title list when adding the title to your employees. Be sure to add them in the correct category.
• Total FTE for an individual cannot exceed 100% (1.0).
• While total FTE for a school can be less than or equal to Total Head Count, it cannot be greater than the Total Head Count.
• Head Teacher: A head teacher is counted as 1.0 teacher FTE. IF there is a support staff who supervises students during regularly scheduled "administrative" time, the head teacher may be counted under admin FTE for that amount of time. Example: if the head teacher has scheduled 4 hours a week for administrative duties and there is a support staff to cover the classroom, the teacher may report 0.1 admin and 0.9 teacher.
