DDESS Area Service Center Fiscal Division - Staffing

The Staffing Division distributes manpower resources to the schools and districts and documents all manpower authorizations. We support the DDESS world class education program by:

  • meeting the staffing needs of the DDESS schools within the available resources
  • promoting innovative staffing practices.

Staffing Program

Manpower is DDESS' primary resource, with salaries and other manpower-related costs representing the major budget expenditure.

The Staffing program objectives are to forecast, justify, program, allocate, and manage DDESS' staffing resources in a manner that effectively, and economically supports the delivery of a high-quality education to eligible students.

Manpower resources are distributed to implement approved educational programs in the most equitable and efficient manner possible. Every attempt is made to structure positions to provide an optimum balance among mission needs, economy, efficiency of operations, and effective manpower utilization.

Staffing Needs

Staffing is driven by student enrollment. Staffing at the school and district level is determined by applying the DDESS staffing standards to the projected student enrollment. The staffing standards are set by the District Superintendents and are subject to periodic review and revision based on comparison to U.S. public school systems, shifts in educational priorities, and fiscal constraints.

Staffing Practices         

The September 30 actual enrollment is used as the basis for the coming school year projections. The projections take into account such things as school closures and reconfigurations, ongoing military housing projects, and troop stationing. Area Directors and District Superintendents may transfer positions within categories and between schools in order to meet local needs and special situations. The Area Service Center Fiscal Division stands ready to assist and advise the districts on their staffing issues and requirements.
