PEIMS collects financial information on each district’s professional contracted instructional staff. These staff are paid from function 11 only. Such staff are contracted teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and any other professional staff working in a classroom on a dedicated basis. See the Resource Guide, Financial Accounting and Reporting Module, Section 1.4.3. The total FTEs by campus, with program intent code, are reported.

One 055 record is submitted for each campus that has professional contracted instructional staff. Additional 055 records are needed if more than one PROGRAM-INTENT-CODE is used to pay the staff.

When calculating contracted instructional staff FTEs, the following items must be considered: 1) the percent of the day worked (number of hours worked divided by the number of work hours in the standard day), 2) the percent of days per week worked (number of days worked divided by 5), and 3) the percentage of weeks worked (the number of weeks worked divided by the number of weeks in the work year). For example, Mrs. Jones is hired on a contracted instructional staff basis to teach the tuba to three tuba players. Her contract specifies that she will work two hours each Monday and each Friday for the entire school year. Her FTE is 0.25 (two hours worked divided by the eight hour work day in the district) multiplied by 0.40 (two days divided by five days) multiplied by 1.0 (36 weeks worked divided by the 36 week instructional year), for a reported FTE of 0.10.

Contracted instructional staff are not regular classroom teachers who have signed a contract with a district, nor are they shared services arrangement employees. Rather, these are instructors for whom the district has entered into a contractual agreement with some outside organization. Through the contract, the outside organization has committed to supplying instructional staff for the district. They are never employees of the reporting school district.
