Reporting Staff Data • OEA reviewed data from the districts • Found several employees in two districts working full-time • Hard to determine cost of extra duty for DPPs • Classified employees reported in Professional staff Data because paid off of a certified salary schedule • Asst. Principals being coded as Principals

  10. Reporting Staff Data • Recommendations: • Add an extra duty for DPP (added 5241 6/2008) • Separate out job class codes for a person that may be the DPP, Transportation Director, Maintenance Director (excludes Superintendents) • Review staff data to make sure that it is accurate when sent to KDE
