NOTE: Estimates are for both full- and part-time staff. Full-time-equivalent calculations were completed for part-time staff within each staff category. Data for each staff category are derived from schools with staff members in those categories. Not all schools have each type of staff member. Elementary schools are defined as schools with at least one grade lower than 5 and no grade higher than 8. Middle schools are defined as schools with no grade lower than 5 and no grade higher than 8. Secondary schools are defined as schools with no grade lower than 7 and at least one grade higher than 8. Combined schools have at least one grade lower than 7 and at least one grade higher than 8; schools with only ungraded classes are also included in combined schools. See supplemental note 3 for more information on the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS).
