WHATS NEW: The Title IA and Title IIA Flags have been removed from the collection. The FTE and Hourly Rate fields have changed to an explicit decimal instead of an implicit decimal. Language of Origin Code 3050 (Moldavian) has been end dated. Code 3800 (Romanian) should be used instead. The Staff Position Resources Page has some great materials to help with this collection including: The Staff Position Manual A File Upload template (.csv format) The File Format Document The Error manual to help resolve any errors or warnings you run into Some great resources to help with all the Staff Validations 6
WHO NEEDS TO BE REPORTED Who s Included Who s Excluded How to Report Contracted Employees How to Report ESD Employees 7
INCLUDED STAFF Staff actively employed over a span of time that includes December 1, 2021 for at least 20 consecutive workdays. Definitions: Staff All staff. This includes teachers, principals, superintendents, paraprofessionals, counselors, library/media staff, special education staff, maintenance staff, IT staff etc. and includes regular, substitute, temporary, student, and some contracted employees as long as they meet the reporting criteria below. Actively employed Includes paid staff only, but does not include staff on a long-term leave of absence for more than half the year. Employed Time between the beginning and end of a staff members contract or period of employment, which may include days that the staff member did not actually report for work. 8
EXCLUDED STAFF Staff who are not actively employed on December 1, 2021 Staff who are not paid in dollars (volunteers, etc.) Employees who work on an ad hoc basis Employees expected to be on long-term (more than half the school year) leave as of December 1, 2021 Staff employed by school-based health centers Staff assigned to private programs or schools 9
CONTRACTORS Contractors should be submitted with the word contractor in the Position Comment Field Report contractors when: They are contracted to work in your school/district; They meet the other requirements; And they serve students directly* Example of Positions that Serve Students Directly: Contracted Bus Drivers Security Guards Food Service Workers Example of Positions that Do Not Serve Students Directly: School Bus Mechanic who works off-site Food Producers who work in a food service company s factory *Serves Students Directly applies only to contractors. All other positions must be submitted regardless of whether or not they serve students directly. 10
CONTRACTORS: ONLINE TEACHERS If your school/district is running/administering the program, then report these staff members. If your school/district is simply tuitioning students to a private program that your school/district does not run, then do not report those teachers. Example of When to Report: Baroque SD operates Bach Online School and contracts with Handel Inc., an ODE approved private online school for their curriculum & teachers. Baroque SD monitors the students in and curriculum for this program. You should report these teachers even though they are employed by Handel Inc. Example of When Not to Report: Classical SD tuitions their students to Mozart Inc., an ODE approved private online school. The staff are employed by Mozart Inc. and Classical SD does not monitor the curriculum. Reminder: Private programs should be registered with ODE as a private alternative program before districts tuition students to them. Contact: Annie Marges at Annie.Marges@ode.state.or.us 503-934-0787 11
CONTRACTORS: WHAT IF WE DON T HAVE THEIR INFORMATION? Your school/district should make an effort to get the required information from the contractor. It may be helpful to add this reporting requirement to the contract in the future If the contractor refuses to provide the information, send a copy of their written refusal via email to the data owner. You should attempt to collect this data every year, not just once. 12
Contractors: ESD Employees If ESD employees are contracted to work in your district/school, do not report them. The ESD will report them instead, and will assign them to your district or school as appropriate. You may see ESD employees in your production download. DO NOT delete or edit these records. Please contact the ESD who employs these staff members if you have questions about their records. 13
DATA ELEMENTS Key Fields USID Fields Staff Position Fields Note: These data are subject to public records requests, so your staff members should be made aware that what they report can be made public upon request. 14
Data Elements: Key Fields USID Unique Staff Identifier Employer Institution ID Assigned Institution ID Position Code Special Education Age Group Code When submitting records to the collection, every submission will create a new record instead of replacing the old record unless that record matches on all key fields. If a record matches on all key fields, it will update the previously submitted record instead of creating a new one. 15
DATA ELEMENTS: USID Fields 1 USID Number (ChkDigitStfID) TSPC Account ID (TSPCAccntID) Employer Institution ID (EmplyrInstID) Employer Staff ID (EmplyrStaffID) Social Security Number (SSN) This is just the last four digits of the SSN. Last Name (LNm) First Name (FNm) Middle Initial (MI) Birth Date (BirthDtTxt) Gender (Gndr) Race/Ethnicity Flags USID Fill All staff must have an active USID record (updated or saved sometime after July 1, 2021) before you can submit them in Staff Position. * Bold text indicates a Key Field 16
DATA ELEMENTS: USID FIELDS 2 USID Number (ChkDigitStfID) Key Field The ODE assigned unique staff identifier you receive when you add a staff member to the USID collection. Required for all staff. Note: Employees should only have one USID number, regardless of how many positions they have or for how many school districts they are employed. Please search the USID system for possible matches before creating a new USID number to avoid duplicates. TSPC Account ID (TSPCAccntID) The TSPC (Teacher Standards and Practices Commission) assigned account identifier. Required for position codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 22, 23, 37, and 38 if the license flag is marked Y . The TSPC Account ID number is different than the TSPC License Number. You can search for a TSPC Account ID using TSPC s Public Educator Search. Some TSPC Account IDs have been changed by TSPC. Please verify that you are reporting the correct TSPC Account ID for staff by using the TSPC Public Educator Search tool. 17
DATA ELEMENTS: USID FIELDS 3 Employer Institution ID (EmplyrInstID) Key Field The ODE Institution Identification number for the institution employing the staff member. Staff members may have a different Employer Institution ID in the USID system than what you re submitting if the staff member is employed by multiple institutions. This is a required field for all staff. Employer Staff ID (EmplyrStaffID) Identifier assigned by the employer used to identify the staff member. This identifier should be unique within the employer system that assigned it. This is not a required field but it is helpful to submit to avoid possible errors. ODE business rules use this field to match demographics on staff records. 18
DATA ELEMENTS: USID FIELDS 4 Social Security Number (SSN) Last four digits of the Social Security Number of the staff member This is a required field for all staff members. Although 0000 may be entered, it is helpful to submit this information to avoid possible errors. ODE business rules use this field to match demographics on staff records. Last Name (LNm) Legal last name of the staff member. This is a required field for all staff. First Name (FNm) Legal First Name of the staff member. This is a required field for all staff. Middle Initial (MI) Legal Middle Initial of the staff member. This is not a required field. 19
DATA ELEMENTS: USID FIELDS 5 Birth Date (BirthDtTxt) Date of Birth of the staff member. This is a required field for all staff. Gender (Gndr) Code indicating the gender of the staff member. This is a required field for all staff. USID Fill This field is generally left blank. Your district may choose to use this if you would like to track other information for your staff members. It is not required. 20
DATA ELEMENTS: USID FIELDS 6 Race/Ethnicity Flags: Hispanic/Latino Ethnic Flag (HispEthnicFg) American Indian/Alaska Native Race Flag (AmerIndianAlsknNtvRaceFg) Asian Race Flag (AsianRaceFg) African American Race Flag (BlkRaceFg) White Race Flag (WhiteRaceFg) Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Race Flag (PacIslndrRaceFg) These data will be used in the Oregon Educator Equity Report and must be checked for accuracy. 21
Question Break 1 Next Topic: Staff Position Data Elements 22
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS Assigned Institution Identifier (AssgnInstID) Years in District Count (YrsInDistCnt) Years in Oregon Count (YrsInORCnt) Position Code (PstnCd) Years Outside of Oregon Count (YrsOutORCnt) Position Comment (PstnCmnt) Full Time Equivalency (FTE) Low Grade Responsibility Code (LoGrdCd) Base Salary (BaseSal) High Grade Responsibility Code (HiGrdCd) Hourly Rate (HrlyRt) Public Employees Retirement System Pickup Flag (PERSPickUpFg) Special Education Age Group Code (SpEdAgeGrpCd) Contract Length (CntrctLgth) License Flag (LicFg) Last State of Residence Code (LstStResdCd) Highly Qualified Paraprofessional Flag (HQParaProFg) Filler (PstnFill1) Full Contract Length (FullCntrctLgth) Level of Staff Education Code (LvlStfEdCd) Language of Origin Code (LangOrgnCd) Filler (PstnFill2) * Bold text indicates a Key Field 23
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 1 Assigned Institution Identifier (AssgnInstID) Key Field The ODE Institution ID number of the institution for which the staff member and position that is being reported is performing job-related functions. (Usually, the physical location where the staff member reports.) Staff that perform job functions at more than one institution will have more than one record indicating multiple Assigned Institution IDs. Each one of these records will reflect only a portion of the staff member s FTE and salary. Note: If a District or ESD staff member works at 5 institutions or fewer, then there will be individual records for their time at each location. If a District or ESD staff member works, as the same position code, at more than 5 institutions, then all the staff member s time will be reported with the assigned institution ID of the Districts(s) to which they were assigned. (The same rule applies to staff who are assigned to work at multiple districts.) 24
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 2 Position Code (PstnCd) Key Field This field contains a code describing the position responsibilities. Report the position code that best describes the job duties being performed by the staff member. Example: Mr. Glass is the superintendent of 20th Century School District and also the principal at J. Cage Charter School, devoting 50% of his time to each position. Employer Inst. Assigned Inst. Position Code FTE 20th Century SD 20th Century SD 1 (Superintendent) 0.50 20th Century SD J. Cage Charter 3 (Principal) 0.50 Position Code values can be found in the Staff Position File Layout Spreadsheet on the Codes Tab. Positions Codes and their descriptions can be found in the Staff Position Manual. 25
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 3 Do not use a comma or quotation marks in your comment or any field in the collection. Position Comment (PstnCmnt) Required for: Position Codes 15, 26, 32, 36, 40 | Otherwise this field is optional Position codes 36 and 40 (Special Education Other Services) enter a comment that identifies the service being rendered by the staff member that cannot be coded as any of the other services listed in the position codes Position codes 15 and 32 (Nurse/Medical Staff) indicate the licensure of the nurse or medical professional Online Contracted Teachers submit the word contractor if the staff you re submitting is an online contracted teacher Post-Graduate Scholars staff member any staff member who has dedicated time for a Post-Graduate Scholars Program must have a comment indicating as such. Example: Post Graduate Scholars Coordinator Position Code 26 (Special Education Interpreter) include a comment about what language the staff member interprets. 26
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 4 Full Time Equivalency (FTE) The proportion of a full-time week a staff member works. For salaried staff, such as teachers, each district should know how many hours is considered to be full-time for that position For hourly staff, 40 hours is normally considered full time. ?????? ?? ???? ? ? ????? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ??? ???? ?????????? ?? ?? ???? ???? ??? ? ?? ???????? ??? = 27
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 5 Full Time Equivalency (FTE) FTE is now an Explicit Decimal field now. Web submission has always been in this format, so web submission records have not changed. File Upload records now need to have the decimal explicitly stated in the record Examples: An FTE of 1.00 should now be entered as 1.00 An FTE of 0.10 should be submitted as 0.10 An FTE of 0.50 should be submitted as 0.50 28
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 6 Full Time Equivalency (FTE) Multiple Records per Staff Member Staff members who work at multiple institutions or hold multiple positions will have proportional values in the FTE field. Example: Ms. Fitzgerald works 50% of her time as a superintendent at Jazz School District and splits the other 50% of her time in half as principal and a teacher at Armstrong Charter School Assigned Institution Position FTE Jazz School District Superintendent 0.50 Armstrong Charter School Principal 0.25 Armstrong Charter School Teacher 0.25 29
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 7 Do Not Adjust FTE If a salaried staff member will be working less than the number of days considered to be a full contract, DO NOT adjust the FTE to represent a short working year. Instead, use the contract length and full contract length fields to show the appropriate length of the year. Example: Mr. Gershwin works full-time (40 hours per week) but was hired in November (after the school year had begun) and is anticipated to only work 130 days out of a 200 day normal contract because of this. Incorrect Entry: Correct Entry: FTE Contract Length Full Contract Length FTE Contract Length Full Contract Length 0.65 130 200 1.00 130 200 30
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 8 Base Salary (BaseSal) The amount of the staff member s actual base salary. Required for position codes 1-5, 8-10, 22, 23, 37, and 38. Reported in whole dollars with no decimal point. For staff members with multiple records, report a percentage of their salary based on FTE for each position or institution. The sum of the salaries reported for a staff member should be equal to the amount they are actually paid each year. Hourly Rate (HrlyRt) The amount the staff member earns per hour. This field is optional and can only be filled in if the Base Salary is blank. Is now an explicit decimal, meaning you have to include the decimal point. For example, an hourly rate of $20.50 would now be enter as 20.50 in both file upload and web submission formats. 31
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 9 Prorating Salary: When staff members are submitted with multiple records, their salary must be prorated. Example: Ms. Holiday works 20 hours per week with early intervention/early childhood special education students age groups. She works 0.3 FTE with the EC age group (3 and 4 year olds), and 0.2 FTE is with the EI age group (birth through 2 year olds). Her total salary for the year is $40,000. 0.3 Record 1 (EC Age Group): $40,000 0.3+0.2= $24,000 0.2 $40,000 0.3+0.2= $16,000 Record 2 (EI Age Group): Note: You can check your work by summing your proportional salary, and checking to see if it matches the original total salary. In this case $24,000 + $16,000 = $40,000 32
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 10 Public Employees Retirement System Pickup Flag (PERSPickUpFg) This field should indicate whether or not the employer pays the employee s share of the PERS contribution for this position. Required for position codes 1-5, 8-10, 22, 23, 37, and 38. Should be N if PERS is deducted from the paycheck instead of paid directly by the employer (i.e. it is reported in the Base Salary total amount). 33
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 11 Contract Length (CntrctLgth) The number of days for which the staff member will be paid, even if the staff member is not scheduled to work on all of those days. Full Contract Length (FullCntrctLgth) The total number of whole paid days a person in this position would be employed if they were working what would be considered a full year for the position. Together, these two fields allow us to determine the proportion of the year the staff member worked. The proportion of the year a staff member works is used in the Adjusted FTE calculation below, which is used in the staff validations. ???????? ????? ???? ???????? ????? ???????? ??? = ??? 34
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 12 Contract & Full Contract Length Examples: Mrs. Beach is a bus driver. Most staff in the district work 220 days, but bus drivers work 190 days. Mrs. Beach was hired in November and because of this, she is only scheduled to work 150 days for this school year. Contract Length Full Contract Length 150 190 Mr. Gillespie is an administrative assistant and, like most staff at the district, is scheduled to work 220 days this school year. He has taken 3 sick days so far and is anticipated to use 1 week of paid vacation in March. Contract Length Full Contract Length 220 220 Mrs. Schumann is a part-time music teacher who works the full year but only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Teachers at this school are on a 190 day contract. The fact that she works 3 out of 5 days during the week would be reflected in the FTE field. Contract Length Full Contract Length 190 190 35
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 13 Last State of Residence Code (LstStResdCd) The state in which the staff member resided just prior to beginning employment with your district. Optional for all staff Code Description OR Oregon WA Washington CA California ID Idaho NV Nevada XX Other State YY Outside USA 36
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 14 Level of Staff Education code (LvlStfEdCd) The highest level of education attained by a staff member. Does not have to be related to the staff member s current duties. Required for position codes 1-5, 8-10, 22, 23, 26, 37, and 38 1 Less than Baccalaureate 2 Baccalaureate Degree 3 Baccalaureate Plus Additional Hours (Not a Master s) 4 Master s Degree 5 Doctorate 37
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 15 Experience values DO NOT include the current year! For Teachers (position codes 5,8,22,23), the Years in Oregon Count and the Years Outside Oregon count are used in State School Fund. Years in District Count (YrsInDistCnt) Number of years worked in your district excluding the current year. Only count years where the staff member worked for more than half the school year Years in Oregon Count (YrsInORCnt) Number of years worked in an Oregon school, district, or ESD excluding the current year. Only count years where the staff member held a position that required a license and was appropriately licensed for that position for more than half the school year. Years Outside Oregon Count (YrsOutORCnt) Number of years worked in a school, district, or ESD outside of Oregon excluding the current year. Only count years where the staff member held a position that required a license and was appropriately licensed for that position for more than half the school year. For Years in Oregon Count and Years Outside Oregon Count, do not include years of unlicensed experience. If the staff member is currently not licensed, then you must report these fields as 0. 38
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 16 Low Grade Responsibility Code (LoGrdCd) and High Grade Responsibility Code (HiGrdCd) Required for positions types 1-15 and 22-40 Teachers The lowest and highest grade level of content the teacher actually teaches Administrators The lowest grade and highest grade level of content taught by the institution If an institution is not set up in our database as serving the grade range reported, contact ODE s Institution Specialist at ode.institutions-request@ode.state.or.us to change the grade range offered. Note: This could take several weeks to go through the full process, so start early! 39
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 17 Special Education Age Group Code (SpEdAgeGrpCd) Key Field The age group to which the employee provides special education services. Required for position type codes 22-40. Code and Name Corresponding Ages Notes EI Early Intervention Ages Birth - 2 High and Low Grade must be PK EC Early Childhood Ages 3-4 High and Low Grade must be PK SA School Age KG Age 21 High and Low Grade must be KG or higher If the employee serves more than one age group, then multiple records must be submitted. Remember that the FTE and Salary must also be adjusted for each record. 40
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 18 License Flag (LicFg) Indicates whether or not the staff member holds a current license appropriate to the position they are working Required for position codes 1-15, 22-34, and 36-38 Example: Teaching Position Code Does the employee have a TSPC teaching license? Teachers who are registered in the TSPC Charter School Registry are not considered to be licensed teachers. These teachers would be reported with a Teacher position code, but the license Flag field will be marked as No . 41
DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 19 Highly Qualified Paraprofessional Flag (HQParaProfFg) Only required for position codes 16 and 35. Y Paraprofessional Exam Y College Credits Equivalent to an Associates Degree N Neither of those criteria Title I-A Flag (TitleIAfg) No longer being collected.

DATA ELEMENTS: STAFF POSITION FIELDS 20 Language of Origin Code (LangOrgnCd) Indicates the first language or native language spoken in an individual s home in their early childhood. Required for position codes 1-5, 8, 22, 23, 37, and 38. Records with these position codes should not be reported as 0000 whenever possible. These data are used in the Educator Equity Report. Filler (PstnFill1) & (PstnFill2) You ll only find these fields in a file upload. They are not in web- submission. Intentionally left blank in case we decide to expand the collection in the future. You may enter local information in these fields if you would like to keep track of something else that ODE does not collect. Otherwise, leave blank. 43
Question Break 2 Next Topic: Difficult Scenarios 44
Difficult Scenarios Coaches & Extra Duty Positions Staff with multiple records Examples 45
Difficult Scenarios: Coaches & Extra Duty If coaching or advising is an extra duty of an existing staff member, submit a second record if: The coaching/advisory time occurs outside the staff members normal working hours; Employee received extra pay for that time; AND Employee was performing those duties during the period that included December 1 for 20 consecutive work days. Example: Mr. Copland is a full-time teacher and also coaches basketball. Position Code FTE Salary Contract Length Full Contract Length Must be different position codes, or the record will be overwritten 8 1.00 60000 200 200 19 0.25 5000 60 200 46
Difficult Scenarios: Coaches & Extra Duty Continued If a staff member has an extra duty contract that is an extension of their regular duty, the position may be reported as one record combining both the extra duty and the normal contract. Example: Ms. Marquez is a full-time music teacher and has an extra duty contract to lead the pep band (averages 4 hours per week) FTE: 40 + (4 / 40) = 1.1 FTE Base Salary: $40,000 + $5,000 = $45,000 Position Code = 8 (Teacher) Note: If the contract length for the extra duty position differs from the teachers position, you may submit either 1 or 2 records. If submitting 1, see the Staff Position manual for directions on how to combine the FTE. 47
DIFFICULT SCENARIOS: STAFF WITH MULTIPLE RECORDS If staff members have any of the following, they will have multiple records: Work for more than 1 employer (Employer Institution ID) Assigned to more than 1 (but less than 6) institutions (Assigned Institution ID) Works in more than 1 position type (Position Code) Works with more than 1 special education age group (Special Education Age Group) 48
EXAMPLES 1 Mr. Brahms is a full-time licensed teacher at Symphony School (ID 7800). He has a Baccalaureate degree, and this will be his 4th year at this school. Prior to this position he taught, and was licensed, at Concerto School in a different school district in Oregon for 2 years, and never worked out of state. His contract this year is for 200 days. He is expected to make $42,000 this year. AssgnInst ID Pstn Cd FTE Base Sal CntrctLgth 7800 8 1.00 42000 200 LvlStfEdCd YrsInDistCnt YrsInORCnt YrsOutORCnt 2 3 5 0 49
EXAMPLES 2 Mrs. Mendelssohn splits her time in half as a principal and teacher at Chanson Academy (ID 6700). She also has an extra duty contract as the FFA leader, working an average of 2 hours per week for the length of the school year. She is contracted for 200 days and is expected to make $80,000 plus an extra $5,000 for her FFA responsibilities. This is her 9th year with the school, but she worked as a teacher at a charter school within this district for 5 years prior to coming to Chanson Academy, and she was listed in the TSPC Charter School Registry during those prior years. She has been appropriately licensed with TSPC since starting with Chanson. Mrs. Mendelssohn has 3 years of teaching experience outside of Oregon prior to this experience, and was appropriately licensed for that position as well. Assgn InstID PstnCd FTE BaseSal CntrctLgth YrsInDistCnt YrsInORCnt Yrs Out OR Cnt 6700 8 0.50 40000 200 13 8 3 6700 3 0.50 40000 200 13 8 3 6700 19 0.05 5000 200 13 8 3 50
