NEW HIRES - INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL

Activity Assignments

All data reported on this form are collected to meet the mandatory requirements specified in Section 1001.03 (5) and 1012.07 (1), F.S.

These data should be reported as of November 1, 2002, or the nearest date that an auditable count can be made.

If a staff member has responsibility for more than one activity assignment, report that person in one activity assignment according to

percentage of time or importance to the district. If a staff member has equal multiple assignments, that person may be reported

accordingly, using decimals (e.g., .5 for Science and .5 for Physical Education).

While most activity assignment classifications are self-explanatory, the following definitions should clarify the information request.

Line 4 - Dropout Prevention:

Include dropout prevention teachers who are teaching more than one subject or a class that is competency based or self

contained. Teachers who are teaching mainly one subject should be listed under the appropriate subject field. Dropout

prevention includes alternative education, teenage parent, juvenile justice, disciplinary, and substance abuse programs.

Line 10 - ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages):

Do not include foreign language teachers here. They should be reported in Line 11.

Line 29 - Profoundly Handicapped:

Include teachers in programs for students who are autistic, deaf/blind, severely emotionally handicapped, or profoundly mentally

handicapped.

Grade Assignments

If a teacher has responsibilities at both the PK-5 and 6-12 grade levels, report the teacher at one level only according to the percentage

of time or importance.

New Hires (July 1 through October 31)

Include in these columns the newly hired personnel, grades PK-12, hired prior to November 1, 2002, for the 2002-2003 school year.

Certified/Certifiable

Include in these columns newly hired personnel who are certified or certifiable according to the requirements specified in the state

Course Code Directory for the field for which they are hired (including beginning teachers who are certifiable). For the purpose of this

survey, certifiable refers to subject field qualifications. Do not designate as

not certifiable

teachers who are considered out of field

because they lack ESOL (unless they are teaching a class in ESOL) or middle school endorsement.

Not Certifiable

Include in these columns newly hired personnel not certifiable in the appropriate area, including newly hired, long-term substitutes if

they are not certified in the area.
