Sub contracted staff
Kari Tenley mentioned that FTE was going to be required for bus drivers next year. I believe there should be an option to select these assignments ( as well as custodial, cafeteria workers, etc) as sub contracted with no FTE required. It doesn't make sense to me that sub contracted staff, who we do not employ, would be counted on our FTE. Especially in our case with bus drivers, who work for two different area districts.
FTE is part of Federal reporting requirements for Contracted staff like bus drivers. We will continue to allow staff to be marked as sub-contracted. but in the cases you are speaking of FTE will be required.
