To meet the requirements under the South Carolina Education Finance Act, the Education Improvement Act, and the School Laws of South Carolina, the State Department of Education is required to catalog all professional personnel. The primary purpose of this publication is to catalog all professional staff employed by a district to: (1) update personnel files as to credit for total years of experience in education; (2) calculate teacher salary supplements under the Education Improvement Act of 1984; and (3) collect information for the Assessments of Performance in Teaching system. Following an overview of staff listing distributions, detailed instructions are provided for coding and recording staff information. Appendices provide position codes for professional instruction-oriented personnel, a full-time employment conversion table, and a sample recording sheet. (MLH)
