Student/Teacher FTE Ratio – Potential Indicators of Financial Problems

Report Location: Staff > Staff Custom Reports > Staff FTE Reports > Student/Teacher FTE Ratio – Potential Indicators of Financial Problems

Summary: This report contains a graphical representation and chart of the student membership to teacher/non teacher FTE ratios for multiple years.

Usage: Use this report to review student to staff ratios of all staff, teacher and non-teacher FTEs over time.

Special Notes:

• Requires 30090 – Staff Responsibility records to be loaded for years selected
• Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) measure the extent to which a person (or responsibility) occupies a full-time position and are calculated for each staff member reported through PEIMS. Example: Two different employees who each work half time would equal one Full Time Equivalent.
• FTEs are calculated in OnDataSuite for school years 2009-2010 and beyond. The current FTE Calculation will only process Staff Responsibilities which contain Monthly Minutes. Prior to 2009-2010, Staff Responsibilities were not reported with Monthly Minutes.
• There are two types of calculations of FTE:
  • If the number of days employed is equal to or greater than 187, then:
    • Employee FTE – % Day Employed / 100
  • If the number of days employed is less than 187, then:
  • Employee FTE – ((% Day Employed / 100) X (# Days Employed)) / 187
