 Employees in the public school system are grouped into four categories. The first three—teachers in classrooms or specific programs; pupil services, such as counselors or librarians; and most administrators—need state-approved credentials. The fourth, classified employees, ranges from instructional aides in the classroom to business managers, school secretaries, bus drivers and custodians.Salaries, wages and benefits are typically 80 to 85% of each district's expenditures. For information about school district and county office of education budgets, see the Financial Statements on the pull-down menus.

Teachers by Type of Assignment

|
| Teachers by Type of Assignment data not collected in 2011-12. |
|
|
|
|
| | Teaching assignments may have many configurations that affect the teacher and full-time equivalent counts. For instance, two half-time teachers who team-teach count as two teachers but only one full-time equivalent, and a teacher who works three-fifths time counts as one teacher but only a 0.6 full-time equivalent. In addition, teachers with split assignments may be counted in more than one area. Therefore the numbers on this table may differ from other teacher counts, such as in the Teachers by Ethnicity table. |
