F - Staff File 2022-2023

Introduction

The Staff file includes one record for each staff member teaching a course or assigned to a homeroom for the current school year in grade levels PK–12. There should be one record for each teaching staff member per district. If a staff member serves more than one school, then that information is captured in the Staff Schedule File G.

The ability to exclude a course from CEDARS reports is provided in the Staff (F) and Staff Schedule (G) files. The field Exclude this course from CEDARS reporting is available on the Courses page. If Yes is selected, all sections/staff for that course are not reported in CEDARS. Staff members who teach different courses are reported as long as those courses are not marked to be excluded.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis of report results when the report does not return the correct records.

Staff Member Selection

The report selects records from the [Users] tables based on the following criteria:

  • The staff member must teach a section during the current school year.
  • The section must be taught at a school that is not excluded from state reporting.
  • The course associated with the section must not be excluded from state reporting.

Report Input
