Staff Demographics

This view captures the core demographic record for teachers and staff. For each staff member in the district in the current year, the layout provides the School Name, Teacher Number, Staff Name, State Identifier, School Personnel Number (SPN), Gender, Last Publish Date, Publishing ID, and Resource ID.

Staff

This resource represents an individual who performs specified activities for any public or private education institution or agency that provides instructional and/or support services to students or staff at the early childhood level through high school completion. This resource is required for all Staff and Teachers.

Primary PowerSchool Source Data

  • [Users]

  • [SchoolStaff]

  • [S_VT_USR_X]

  • UserCoreFields (ucf)

  • TeacherRace (tr)

Selection Criteria

Records are published if the following criteria are met:

  • The staffUniqueId must be populated in PowerSchool.

  • The staff member must not be excluded from state reporting.

  • The school must not be excluded from state reporting.

  • The staff member has at least one school enrollment with an entry date that falls on or within the date range defined by the first day and the last day for the year of the Term selected in PowerSchool.

One record is published for each staff member where:

  • Staff is not lunch staff (has ss record where staffstatus is not 3)

  • Staff is active (has ss record where status is not 2) or taught section during year

  • Staff is not excluded from Ed-Fi (uxt.excludefromEdFi not 1)

  • Staff is not excluded from state reporting (has ss record where ssxt.state_excludefromreporting is not 1)

  • Dependency on SPN (ixt.teacher_spn not null)

Resource Output

  • A single staff record is published for each staff member in the district based on the year for the Term selected in the PowerSchool UI

  • Lunch staff are excluded from publishing

  • Staff is active (has ss record where status is not 2) or taught section during year

  • Staff is not excluded from Ed-Fi (uxt.excludefromEdFi is not 1)

  • Staff is not excluded from state reporting (has ss record where ssxt.state_excludefromreporting is not 1)

  • The staff resource is not dependent on prior publishing of any Ed-Fi resources

After a staff record is uploaded, it cannot be modified until a staffSchoolAssociations record in the School Associations category has also been uploaded for the same staff member.

  • This establishes a relationship between the school, the associated LEA, and the staff member.

  • The LEA then has permission to modify the previously uploaded Staff record.

  • LEAs and Schools may upload (publish) data to the Ed-Fi ODS in real-time or on-demand (“Run Now” button).
