2003-2004 PI-1202 Fall Staff Report

Link to 2004-2005 PI-1202 Fall Staff Report Information Page

The purpose of this site is to provide districts with information regarding changes to the PI-1202 Fall Staff Report that will be collected in October of 2003. Staff members that will be interested in this site include district IT staff or your software vendor, business manager/department, human resource director/department, secretary completing the PI-1202, and district administrator.

The PI1202 report will be web-based and there are several changes in the data elements that will be collected. The changes are to simplify and improve on the data we collect and to respond to the requirements in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) of 2001. NCLBA requires that any teacher hired after the first day of the 2002-2003 school year to teach core academic subjects in a program supported with funds under Title I, Part A, must be "highly qualified." In addition, the law requires all local educational agencies (LEAs) to ensure that all teachers in the LEA teaching in core academic subjects are "highly qualified" by the end of the 2005-2006 school year.

Grades for other positions (such as principal, guidance counselors) will be defaulted to the grade range of the district or school (working agency) based on where the assignment is reported. Some positions (such as district administrator, assistant district administrator, business manager) will not report a grade range or be defaulted to the working agency grade range.
