Purpose of the School Personnel Records Section
The School Personnel Records (SPR) office at the Oklahoma State Department of
Education (OSDE) is responsible for maintaining the annual certified and support
personnel reports, resident teacher reports for mentor teacher payment, administrators'
salary and benefit reports, superintendents' contracts, approved salary schedules for each
school district, and for processing criminal history background checks for employment
purposes. Additionally, the office maintains the historical employment data for all
certified and support school employees.
The office staff is responsible for reviewing and approving work experience for
school employees and updating each teacher's record for all approved teaching
expenence.
The SPR office reviews the salaries reported by the school districts' on each of its
teachers to ensure that teachers are paid in accordance with state law. Notices are sent to
the school district identifying those teachers who have been underpaid so corrective
actions can be taken before a penalty in State Aid is assessed. Additionally, noncertified
teachers are monitored and this information is reported to the appropriate persons so
corrective actions can be taken.
The SPR office reviews complaints of salary reduction without proportionate
reduction in duties per 70 O.S. § 18-114.9 and OAC 21O:25-3-4(i), and makes
recommendations to the State Board of Education for corrective actions.
The office responds to requests for information that is subject to the Oklahoma Open
Records Act for any of the above information.

Personnel Reports
The School Personnel Records Office (SPR) at the Oklahoma State Department of
Education (OSDE) maintains the following reports. All records are subject to the Open
Records Act; however, certain information that is not subject to disclosure, such as a
social security number, is omitted prior to providing the information.
• Superintendent Contracts. The SPR office maintains contracts for all school
district superintendents in the state. Each contract must be sent to the SPR office
within 15 days of signing.
• Schedule of Salaries and Fringe Benefits Paid to Administrators. This report
includes the salary and the value and description of the benefits for any
superintendent, assistant superintendent, principal, and assistant principal. This
report is automatically completed from data entered on the Certified Personnel
Report.
• Multiple-Site Report. The local school district no longer completes this report
separately. Multiple-site information will be gathered from the Certified
Personnel Reports submitted by the local school district for certified staff
members that work at more than one school site within the school district.
• Cooperative Teacher Report. This report lists teachers that are employed by
more than one school district. Only the local educational agency that pays the
teacher will report the teacher on their Certified Personnel Report. This report is
automatically accomplished when a school district enters their personnel
information on their Personnel Reports.
• Noncertified Teachers Report. This report is a State Department of Education
internal report that identifies noncertified teachers. Penalties of state aid may be
assessed for employing a noncertified person in a position that requires the person
to hold a valid Oklahoma teaching credential. A preliminary report is provided to
the Regional Accreditation Officer after the current school year's October data is
submitted so attempts can be made to correct any discrepancies. Credentials from
another state are NOT considered valid credentials in Oklahoma. The teacher
must apply for an Oklahoma credential based upon reciprocity.
• Local School Districts' Salary Schedule. This is the approved district salary
schedule that reflects the salaries paid to certified staff based on years of
acceptable teaching experience and conferred degree level. The use of the form
provided by School Personnel Records on the OSDE Web site is required for
consistency purposes. This information is compiled and provided to the
Governor, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
• Initial Certified and Support School Personnel Reports. These reports are
computer generated by the State Department of Education and are sent to the local
3
school district through our Web site. The OSDE Data Services Section populates
the previous year's employee information, excluding base salary and fringe
benefit amounts and federally paid information, into the Web-based School
Reporting Site. It is extremely important to ensure these reports are as accurate as
possible, as the information from these reports is used by state and federal
agencies for funding and statistical purposes. These reports MUST BE
CERTIFIED no later than October 1 of each year. The superintendent
certifies the reports as accurate on the "Welcome Screen" by selecting the
"Certify" button for each report. Until this is done, the reports are not considered
"turned-in." See Appendices A, AI, and A2 for detailed Certified Personnel
information, and B, B1, and B2 for detailed Support Personnel information.
Note: The "Certify" buttons for your Certified and Support Personnel
Reports are for the superintendent to approve the reports as an accurate
reflection of the staff in his or her school district. To access the individual
reports you must select the appropriate tab at the top of the page. If you
inadvertently select the "certify" button, then your report(s) will be locked
out from making changes. Contact the School Personnel Records office at
(405) 521-3369 to have the reports reopened.
• Final Certified and Support School Personnel Reports. These reports are
computer generated by the State Department of Education based on the
information provided by your school district on the Initial Personnel Reports in
October, and are available on the Web site approximately the first week of
January for any adjustments that may have occurred since the Initial School
Personnel Reports were filed. Corrections and changes must be made and the
reports certified back to the School Personnel Records office no later than
February 1. The reports are complete only when the superintendent certifies the
reports as accurate on the "Welcome Screen." See Appendices A, AI, and A2 for
detailed Certified Personnel information, and Appendices B, B 1, and B2 for
detailed Support Personnel information.
Note: The superintendent MUST CERTIFY the reports even if there
were no changes to the personnel reports since the October reports were
submitted. State Aid allocations may be withheld until these reports
have been submitted.
• End-of- Year Certified and Support Personnel Reports. These reports are used
to list final changes to your Certified and Support Personnel Reports. The
information is available via the Web site around the first of May. These reports
must be recertified back to the OSDE no later than June 15. See Appendices
A, AI, and A2 for detailed Certified Personnel information, and Appendices B,
B1, and B2 for detailed Support Personnel information.
Note: The superintendent MUST CERTIFY the reports even if there
were no changes to the personnel reports since the February reports were
submitted.
4
• Certified Substitute Teacher Report. The End-of- Year Certified Substitute
Teacher Report is used to list the substitute teachers who hold a valid Oklahoma
teaching credential and were used during the year. This information is important
because the teacher can add two partial years of substituting together to equal one
year of experience for salary step increase purposes. The days employed and
other requested information for certified substitute teachers will be collected on
the Web. This report will be due at the same time the End-of- Year report is due,
June 15,2008.
Note: Noncertified substitute teachers are NOT reported to the School
Personnel Records office.
• Resident Teacher/Mentor Teacher Report. The Mentor Teacher stipend
allocation is dependent on this report. Each year all schools will be asked to
enter, via the Web, specific information on all teachers who were employed and
were subject to the Resident Teacher Program.
• Underpaid Teacher Notification. This report identifies teachers who have been
paid less than the mandated state minimum salary for teachers. The initial report
is sent to school districts in mid-March based on the data submitted on the
February reports. Steps must be taken to correct discrepancies prior to the end of
the school year as state aid penalties may be assessed for noncompliance the
following October.
5
School Personnel Records Web Pages
The Web-based reporting of school personnel information replaced the paper
reporting method and was first used for the 2001-2002 school year. In 2002-2003, the
Oklahoma legislature enacted 70 O.S. § 6-101.6 requiring school districts to report
specific pay and fringe benefit information on their employees. To comply with this law,
the Web-based reporting site had to be changed in a dramatic way, thus, scraping the
simpler system that had been used in previous years and replacing it with a system that is
designed to gather much more detailed information.
Once the user has accessed the Web-based reporting site, there are several options
from which to choose. The following is a breakdown of the various Web pages and
options that the user will see. Users should become familiar with all sites on the Web-based
Reporting System.
School District Reporting Site Logon
Access to this site is provided exclusively for Oklahoma school districts and site
personnel to submit required reports to the State Department of Education. If you are an
employee of a private school, please contact the Accreditation Office, (405) 521-3333,
for assistance with your logon access and password.
If you are an employee of an Oklahoma public school district that needs to be
assigned a usemame and password to logon, or if you already have a usemame and
password, but need access to a new reporting system, contact your school district's
superintendent or logon administrator. Each is authorized to issue usemames and
passwords to employees of their district. They are also authorized to provide access to
specific systems for those who already have a usemame and password.
From the State Department of Education's Home Page,
<http.r/www.sde.state.ok.us>, select the link entitled "School District Reporting Site."
This is a red oval button located just below the State Superintendent's opening
announcement. This will take you to the Logon Page. You will log on by entering your
usemame and password. Then select the SDE Web reporting site you desire to enter.
The Logon Page has several functions. First, it provides spaces for you to enter your
usemame and password to access the School District Reporting Sites that you are
authorized to access. Next, there are "announcements" that SDE administrators use to
pass on important information to the users of the system. Users should check for new
announcements periodically. Last, located on the left-hand side of the page, are links to
other useful pages. Two of these links are "CONTACT US" and "HELP." The
"CONTACT US" is used for sending e-mails to the State Department of Education's
Web Support when you have difficulties, questions, or comments regarding all SDE Web
reporting sites. For specific assistance with School Personnel Records issues, send your
e-mail requestto<SPRwebsupport@sde.state.ok.us>. The "HELP" link provides
specific information for logon assistance.
6
Web Site Administration
The superintendent's use marne and password are the equivalent of his or her
signature on all reports submitted electronically. Therefore, the usemame and password
should be protected at all times to prevent unauthorized use. For security purposes, each
user account is set to expire six months from the last password change. Users will be
prompted for a new password when they attempt to logon after the six months has
expired.
Logon administrators or superintendents should logon (if all attempts fail, select the
"Help" link to the left). After you logon, you will be taken to the Systems Menu. This
is the page where you select the program you wish to access, i.e., School Personnel
Records or Accreditation. This is also the page where the Web Site Administrator gains
access to the User Identification and Access System for assigning access to employees
within the school district. Specific instructions for assigning access are as follows:
• After logging on, select the User Identification and Access link (on the left).
• Review all user accounts on the list by clicking on each user's name to review the
user's account information and system access. Select the Help link to the left for
instructions on how to assign user account information and access to applications
(e.g., School Personnel Records and Accreditation).
• Add and/or delete user accounts, assign, or modify user access to appropriate
applications. As a security measure, you should include deleting users from
access as part of the administrative work accomplished when an employee is no
longer with your district.
• Should a user forget his or her password, the superintendent or logon
administrator must use the User Identification and Access System to RESET the
user's password.
• Superintendents and logon administrators who have forgotten their passwords,
and new superintendents who need to be assigned access, may send a FAX
request to (405) 522-3271 (State Department of Education, Financial Accounting,
Attn: Sally Noakes). The fax must be on school letterhead and include:
• County and district codes
• County and district names
• Superintendent's full name
• Statement of request
• Superintendent's signature
• Superintendent's e-mail address
• Superintendent's phone and fax numbers
If you experience difficulties, please call our offices at (405) 521-3369, or e-mail us
at: <SPR websupport@sde.state.ok.us>.

Welcome and Certify Screen
The Welcome Screen's main function is for certifying your personnel reports, salary
schedule, and resident teacher report.
This screen is where the superintendent will CERTIFY the Certified Personnel
Report, Support Personnel Report, Local Salary Schedule, and Resident Teacher Report.
The CERTIFY function is the superintendent's signature stating that the reports
accurately represent the personnel in his or her district.
It is extremely important to remember that the superintendent MUST "CERTIFY"
the reports each reporting period even if no changes were made to the reports. An
open lock icon represents an uncertified report; whereas, the closed lock icon represents a
report that the superintendent has certified as accurate.
Call School Personnel Records if the CERTIFY button is inadvertently selected
before the reports are completed. If you do not get a "new" button when trying to add or
edit a repOli, check the "Welcome" page to see if the lock is closed. The closed lock will
prevent changes to your report.
A pop-up box was added to the Welcome Screen that asks if you have conducted
edit checks on your data prior to certifying the reports. This is simply a reminder and will
not prevent the superintendent from certifying the reports as complete and accurate. We
do, however, recommend you print the edit check reports located from the "Print" tab,
and review your data prior to certifying. This will aid the OSDE in preparing accurate
reports for our customers. Information for these edit checks is located on pages 13 - 14,
and in Appendix D, Print Instructions starting on page 55.
Salary Schedule
By law (70 O.S. § 5-141), every school district must report their approved local
salary schedule to the State Department of Education within 30 days of adoption by the
local school board. The information is then compiled into a book and provided to the
Governor, Speaker of the House, Senate President Pro Tempore, and State
Superintendent of Public Instruction. The information is also maintained in the School
Personnel Records office for filling Open Records requests. Appendix C provides
specific information for completing the Salary Schedule Form.
When you first access this screen, you will see that you have several options.
First, if your school district has adopted the State Minimum Salary as your local
salary schedule, you simply select this button and you are finished. Do NOT use this
option if your school district has also adopted pay steps for coursework between
completed degrees or for years of experience beyond 25 years.
8
The next option is for school districts that are still in negotiations. Once your school
district completes negotiations and approves a local salary schedule, you will need to
complete the form. Please let us know when this is done so we can update our records.
If your school district has a local salary schedule that is different from the State
Minimum Salary schedule, you will need to complete the form by populating each pay
cell.
Certified Personnel
The Certified Personnel Report is used to identify the employees in your district who
are required to hold a valid Oklahoma teaching credential to work. Please note that it is a
violation of 70 O.S. § 6-108 to employ a person in a certified position who does not hold
a valid credential.
Title 70 O.S. Supp. 2005 § 6-101(J): A school district may enter into a contract
with a teacher who is expected to be certified prior to the school year. For example,
student teachers and applicants awaiting the issuance of their license/certificate.
The teacher must have a valid credential prior to the first day of classroom
instruction.
Adjunct, charter school, and paraprofessional teachers who have been issued a
special teacher number are included on this report. The special teacher number can be
obtained from the School Personnel Records office, however, prior to calling for a
number please ask the teacher if they have previously worked as an adjunct or at a charter
school and where they worked. This will prevent issuing more than one number to a
teacher.
The Certified Personnel area is divided into three main areas: (1) Certified Personnel
List, (2) Error Messages, and (3) Edit Boxes. The Edit Boxes are subdivided into four
main parts: (1)" Employee, (2) Salary, (3) Fringe Benefits, and (4) Co-op.
Certified Personnel List. After accessing the Certified Personnel section by
selecting the "Certified Personnel" tab at the top of the page, an alphabetical list of your
current employees will be located on the left-hand side of the Web page. To select a
specific employee, click on the employee's name. This will cause the edit fields to be
populated with that person's information. The person you are currently editing will be
highlighted in gray on the list of employees.
Note: A search capability has been built into the program. You can search by the
employee's teacher number, full first and last name, or you can enter the first
letter of the last name and you will be provided with a list of all certified staff
members that have a last name beginning with the letter you typed in. For
example, "John Smith" will bring up every certified employee in your district
with that name; however, if you only enter "S" in the last name field, you will be
provided with an alphabetical list of all employees that have a last name starting
with "S." To narrow the field, you can enter "SM" and you will omit all the
9
persons prior to any that have a name starting with "SM." Other search options in
this area are a page turner, identified by two arrowheads in a box, and a "Next 10"
and "Last" button to move to the next or last page.
Error Message Box. The Error Message screen is hidden from view until an error is
detected when attempting to save information that has been entered in any of the edit
areas. If an error is detected, a pop-up box will alert you that there were errors and a
yellow and red message at the top of the edit screen will prompt you to refer to the Error
Message screen at the top of the page. You can select the underlined part of the error
message to highlight the error on the edit screen. All errors must be corrected before
your information can be saved and populated to your main database.
Edit Boxes. There are four edit boxes for certified personnel. The Salary and Fringe
Benefits information will be displayed with one box per entry. The "Open/Close" button
at the top left of each box allows you to open or close (maximize/minimize) each box.
Dropdown menus are available to make data entry easier; however, you may still type the
information in the box located just before the drop down menu if that is your desired
method. Refer to Appendices A, AI, and A2 for specific instructions on completing the
information required in each edit box.
Emplovee. The top edit box is the employee's demographic information which
includes: teacher number, name, social security number, race, gender, date of
birth, year certificate expires, degree, and years of teaching experience for pay
purposes. Additionally, this box contains fields for identifying the reason the
employee discontinues service at the school district. There are fields for special
information that can be checked. These fields identify teachers that are (l)
drawing retirement pay from the Teachers' Retirement System of Oklahoma, (2)
on the Residency Year Program, (3) serving as a mentor teacher, or (4) working
with a Co-op. Also, as salary, benefit, and Full-time Equivalency (FTE)
information is entered, the amounts are tallied and displayed in this section.
Salary. This edit box is for listing "Salary" information for the employee. The
employee's job site(s), job code(s), subject(s) taught, program code(s), fraction-of-
a-day, days employed, contract days, pay type and amount are required in this
area. When a person's salary is being paid partially or fully with federal funds,
the appropriate federal code(s) and salary amount(s) are entered here. Failure to
properly code the federal funds could result in a delay of payment.
Fringe Benefits. This part identifies the benefits received by the employee. The
benefits must be identified in relation to the job and dollar amount. When a
person's benefits are paid partially or fully with federal funds, the appropriate
federal code(s) and dollar amounts of the benefits are entered here. Failure to
properly code the federal funds could result in a delay of payment.
Cooperative Teacher. If your school district is the LEA that actually pays the
teacher, you should identify these teachers by selecting the Co-op box.
10
Adjunct. Charter School, and Paraprofessional Teachers: Teachers, who DO NOT
possess a valid Oklahoma teaching credential, must have a special teacher number issued.
An alpha character at the beginning of the teacher number denotes these special teacher
numbers: "A" is for Adjunct Teacher and "E" is for Charter School. Paraprofessionals
are given a special "P" number. These letters should not be confused with the "L" at the
end of the teacher number.
Adjunct Teacher Numbers: All Adjunct teachers must be issued an Adjunct
teacher "A" number, and reported for that position using the Adjunct Teacher
number. The School Personnel Records Section issues the "A" number. You can
obtain a number by calling (405) 521-3369. If the teacher has previously worked
as an Adjunct, then he or she should already have a number assigned. When
calling School Personnel Records, let them know of the possibility that the person
already has a number.
Charter School Teacher Numbers: All Charter School teachers who DO NOT
have a teaching certificate issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education
must be issued a Charter School teacher number. You can obtain a special "E"
number by calling School Personnel Records at (405) 521-3369. If the teacher
has previously worked in a Charter School, then he or she should already have a
number assigned. When calling School Personnel Records, let them know of the
possibility that the person already has a number.
Parapro{essional Teacher Numbers: Individuals who have applied for a
Paraprofessional credential through the Professional Standards office at the State
Department of Education are issued a special alphanumeric teacher number. If a
paraprofessional needs a special teacher number issued, call the Professional
Standards Office at (405) 521-3337. Paraprofessionals will be included on the
Certified Personnel Report for tracking purposes. The paraprofessional does not
have to be paid according to the Minimum Salary Schedule for teachers; nor, will
they receive credit for pay level increases. Any paraprofessionals without a
special "P" number should be entered on the Support Personnel Report using the
social security number.
Support Staff
The Support Personnel Report is used to identify the employees in your district who
fill support positions such as administrative assistants, bus drivers, custodians, cooks,
teacher assistants, etc. These personnel DO NOT require teaching credentials to work in
the position.
The Support Staff area is divided into three main areas: (1) Support Personnel List,
(2) Error Messages, and (3) Edit Boxes. The Edit Boxes are subdivided into three main
parts: (1) Employee, (2) Salary, and (3) Fringe Benefits.
11
Support Personnel List. After accessing the Support Staff section by selecting the
"Support Staff' tab at the top of the page, the list of your current employees, in
alphabetical order, is located on the left-hand side of the Web page. At the beginning of
the school year, this information is populated from your previous year data. To select a
specific employee, click on the employee's name and the edit fields will be populated
with that person's information, with zeros (0) in the salary and fringe benefit fields. The
person you are currently editing will be highlighted in gray on the list of employees.
Note: A search capability has been built into the program. You can search by the
employee's full first and last name, or you can enter the first letter of the last
name and you will be provided with a list of all support staff that have a last name
beginning with the letter you typed in. For example, "John Smith" will bring up
every support employee in your district with that name; however, if you only
enter "S" in the last name field, you will be provided with an alphabetical list of
all employees that have a last name starting with "S." To narrow the field, you
can enter "SM" and you will omit all the persons prior to any that have a name
starting with "SM." Other search options in this area are a page turner, identified
by two arrowheads in a box, and a "Next 5" and "Last" button to move to the next
or last page. You can also search by social security number.
Error Message Box. The Error Message box is hidden from view until an error is
detected when attempting to save information that has been entered in any of the edit
areas. If an error is detected, a pop up box will alert you that there were errors and a
yellow and red message at the top of the edit screen will prompt you to refer to the Error
Message box at the top of the page. You can select the underlined part of the error
message to highlight the error on the edit box. All errors must be corrected before your
information can be saved and populated to your main database.
Edit Boxes. There are three edit boxes for Support Staff. The Salary and Fringe
Benefits will be displayed with one box per entry. The "Open/Close" button at the top
left of each box allows you to open or close (maximize/minimize) each box. See
Appendices B, Bl, and B2 for specific instructions on completing the information
required in each edit box.
Emplovee. The top edit box is the employee's demographic information.
Additionally, this area contains fields for identifying the reason the employee
discontinues service at the school district.
Support Salary. This edit box is for listing "Salary" information for the
employee. The employee's job site, job classification, pay type, salary amount,
hours employed per day, days employed per year (see note below), and contract
days per year are entered here. When a person's salary is being paid partially or
fully with federal funds, the appropriate federal codes and salary amounts are
entered here.
12
Note: Support employee's data will be reported as DAYS EMPLOYED PER
YEAR instead of months per year and CONTRACTED DAYS instead of
hours per year. This is being done to improve statistical reporting and to
arrive at more accurate information.
Fringe Benefits. This part identifies the fringe benefits received by the employee.
The benefits must be identified in relation to the job with the proportionate dollar
amount entered. When a person's benefits are paid partially or fully with federal
funds, the appropriate federal codes and dollar amounts of the benefits must be
entered here.
Dropdown menus are available to make the data entry easier; however, you may still
type the information in the box located just before the dropdown menu if that is your
desired method.
Print Reports
The "Print Reports" function allows you to print each of your various reports. See
Appendix D for specific information. There are several reports available to print. Many
of these reports are designed as "Edit Check" reports that you should print and review
prior to certifying your personnel reports. This will aid in the collection of complete and
accurate data.
Administrator Salarv and Fringe Benefit Report. This report is generated after
your Certified Personnel Report is completed. You can print this report for your
records; however, you do NOT need to send a copy to the State Department of
Education. A similar print job is available to print this report without social
security numbers.
Certified Personnel Report. This option provides you with a printed copy of your
Certified Personnel Report.
Support Personnel Report. This option provides you with a printed copy of your
Support Personnel Report and includes social security numbers.
Support Personnel Report without Social Security Numbers. This is another

Specific Instructions for Completing
Certified Personnel Reports
Certified Employee (Demographic Information)
Oklahoma Statute 70 O.S. § 6-10 1.6 requires school districts to report specific pieces
of information concerning a certified staff member's salary and benefits to the State
Department of Education. The Web-based reporting site has been designed to
accommodate this law. The following provides specific information for completing the
Annual Certified Personnel Reports that are due in October, February, and June, of each
year. Refer to the instructions located in this brochure or at the online HELP site at the
School District Reporting site for information on how to complete each item.
Specific requirements:
• Teachers who taught for your school district last year, but who are no longer
employed, and who will not teach in your district for the current school year,
even for one day, must be removed. To remove a teacher, enter a "Reason For
No Return" code in the appropriate space in the teacher information section
tab out of this box and then click on "Save All Edits" in the employee
information box. Do not input any salary, benefit, or days employed
information for these people. If the proper "Reason For No Return" code has
been entered, then these people will not be shown on a print-out of your report.
NOTE: The "Reason For Leaving" code will be disabled for the
October reports as it should NOT be used for teachers that did not return
from the previous year; however, if you had a teacher return for the
current school year, even if it was just for one day, you must enter this
teacher on your October report with the appropriate information. You will
then give this person a "Reason For Leaving" code on the February
report. (The "Reason For Leaving" button will be reactivated for the
February and June reports, and the "Reason For No Return" button will
be deactivated.)
• New teachers should be added to the report. Information should be entered for
all fields. See Appendix I for adding a new person.
• Teachers retained by the district should have current information entered for all
fields. See Appendix J for changing a person's information.
• If a teacher has changed jobs for the current year, you must delete old job and
add new job information. When you delete a job, you will also be deleting the
fringe information that is tied to the job that you are deleting.
• Each year the State Department of Education's Data Services will populate the
personnel reports with the previous year's information, excluding subject
code(s), program code(s), salary and benefit amounts and federal information.

Specific field information:
Teacher Number: This is the six-digit number from the certified employee's
Oklahoma teaching credential (lower-left comer of the large frameable certificate or top
left of the small detachable copy; NOT the red certificate control number that is in the
upper right comer of the frameable certificate). You DO NOT put the "L" at the end of
the number in this space. (Note: the "L" in the teacher number is used to identify teachers
who are subject to testing and Resident Year Teacher Program laws and is not considered
part of the teacher number for SPR reporting purposes.) DO NOT use any number not
issued by the State Department of Education. See page 11 for specific information
regarding adjunct, charter school, and paraprofessional teachers that do not hold a
teaching certificate.
LName: Type in the employee's LAST NAME.
FName: Type in the employee's FIRST NAME.
MI: Type in the employee's MIDDLE INITIAL (Note: If the employee does not
have middle initial, this area can be left blank.
SSN: The social security number is entered as a nine-digit number with or without
dashes.
Race: Selected from the drop down menu or type in the appropriate number:
1 - African-American
2 - American Indian
3 - Hispanic
4 - Asian/Pacific Islander
5 - Caucasian and others
Gender: Select from the drop down menu or type in "F" or "M."
DOB: Identify the employee's Date of Birth using the mm/dd/yyyy format. The
slashes must be a part of the date of birth.
Yr. Cert Exp: From the teacher's Oklahoma teaching credential, identify the four-digit
year that the certificate expires. (Note: If the certificate is expired, contact the
Professional Standards Section at the Oklahoma State Department of Education for an
application and/or information.)
Note: If you are using a special A, E, or P number for noncertified adjunct,
charter school, or paraprofessional teachers, then you must use four (4) asterisks
(* * * *) in the "Year Certificate Expires" box.
Degree Held: Select the conferred degree from the list or type in the appropriate
code number: 2 = less than 70 semester hours; 3 = greater than 70 semester hours, but no
Bachelor's degree conferred; 4 = Bachelor's Degree; 5 = Master's Degree; 6 = Education
Specialist or Professional Degree; and 7 = Doctorate Degree.
Note: For schools that have established pay steps between conferred degrees
(i.e., bachelor's + 15), use the highest degree that has been conferred (in this case
use the conferred bachelor's degree).
Reason for No Return: These codes are used for identifying employees who depart
after the school year ends and do not return the following year. The salary/benefit
information MUST be blank. This option is only available for the October report. It will
be deactivated for the February and June reports.
Reason for Leaving: These codes are used for identifying employees who depart the
school district prior to the end of the school year. When this situation occurs, you must
adjust the employee's Number of Days employed and Salary/Benefit information in the
Salary and Benefit edit screens and then give the person a "Reason for Leaving" code.
Remember to save the information by selecting the "Save" box. If you give a person a
"Reason for Leaving" code and then realize you need to make additional changes, you
must first blank out the "Reason for Leaving" information, save those changes, then
change your information, and select "Save All Edits." Finally, reselect the appropriate
"Reason for Leaving" code, and then "Save All Edits."
Note: The "Reason For Leaving" option will be disabled for the October reports,
but will be reactivated for the February and June reports. Remember, even if the
employee only works a minimal amount of time, he/she must be entered on your
personnel report with the appropriate information included.
Note: The Reason for Leaving and Reason for No Return Codes can be located in
Appendices A1 and B 1.
Experience: This field shows the total years of approved experience for pay
purposes. If the teacher is claiming a different amount of experience, or if your figures
do not agree with ours, please contact our office for information. You cannot edit this
information after you enter it the first time for new teachers to your district. Contact the
School Personnel Records section if you need to make changes to years of experience.
This District: This field is the number of years of credible teaching experience
the teacher has with your school district. If this is the first year the teacher works
for your district then enter the years of experience as zero.
Other OK District: This field reflects the number of years of credible teaching
experience with other Oklahoma school districts.
Out-of-State: Years of credible teaching experience with an accredited out-of-state
school district are shown here. If you attempt to enter more than five (5)
19
years, you will get an error message; the number will automatically be changed to
five (5).
Military: Years of credible ACTIVE duty military experience are reflected here.
Before active duty military experience can be granted, the employee must submit
a copy of his/her Form DD 214 to the School Personnel Records Section. If you
attempt to enter more than five (5) years, you will get an error message; the
number will automatically be changed to five (5).
Note: Military service as a Reservist or National Guard member is not allowed
unless the person is activated and is on official military orders. For example, the
one weekend a month and two-week service during the year are NOT allowed for
salary step increase purposes.
Important note regarding Out-of-State, Private School, University-level
teaching experience and Military Service: Before out-of-state, private school,
and/or university-level experience can be granted, the employee must submit a
copy of his/her Proof of Teaching Form and valid teaching credential from the
school in which the experience was earned to the School Personnel Records
Section. A letter from the school, on official letterhead, may be accepted in lieu
of the Proof of Teaching Form if all needed information is included. The Form
DD 214 must be submitted for military service credit. Oklahoma law limits out-of-
state and military experience to five (5) years; however, each school district
has the option to pay for additional years of out-of-state experience should they
decide too. These additional years above the maximum of five (5) granted by the
Oklahoma State Department of Education are NOT placed on the personnel
report.
Total Experience: This field shows the total years of experience for pay purposes.
School districts are obligated by law to pay for the number of years shown. However, if
a teacher has years of experience beyond the amount approved by the State Department
of Education, the school district may choose to pay for those additional years. These
additional years will not be included in State Aid calculations and should NOT be
entered on this system.
Retired Box: This box should be checked to identify employees who are drawing
retirement pay from the Teachers' Retirement System of Oklahoma.
Note: Normally, this is $15,000 for a teacher who is under 62 years of age or that
has been retired for less than 36 months, and $30,000 for teachers who are 62 or
older and/or have been retired for over 36 months.
Note: Check with the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) of Oklahoma offices
at (405) 521-2387 within the Oklahoma City calling area or call TRS toll-free at
1-877-738-6365 within Oklahoma, but outside the Oklahoma City calling area,
for each teacher's maximum allowable pay. The telephone number for outside of
Oklahoma is (405) 521-2387.
20
Residency Year: This box should be checked if the teacher is working his/her first
year as a teacher. Normally, if the teacher still has a "License," then he/she should be a
Resident Year teacher. If the teacher has out-of-state teaching experience, check with
Professional Standards at (405) 521-3337 to determine if the teacher should have been
issued a certificate instead of a license. This box needs to be checked to populate the
resident teacher report.
Note: The difference between a license and a certificate is tied to whether or not
the teacher has successfully taught for one year in an accredited K-12 school
system. If not, the teacher should hold a License and have a Resident Year
Committee assigned. If the teacher has at least one year of approved experience,
then he/she should have been issued a certificate [Provisional or Standard] and is
not subject to the Resident Year Program. Contact the Resident Teacher Program
office, at (405) 521-3607, for additional information.
Mentor: Select this box if the teacher is assigned mentor duties to a teacher in the
Resident Year Teacher Program. This box needs to be checked to receive mentor teacher
stipend.
Cooperative Teacher: If the employee is working for two or more school districts,
but is only being paid by one school district, then only the school district that pays the
person will check this box. After you have selected this box, you will need to scroll to
the bottom of the page, open the co-op area, and enter the appropriate information in each
field.
Note: Select the proper county, district, and site by either entering the
appropriate number or by using the drop down menu. Then enter the percentage
of time the teacher is teaching for that site number (use two-digit decimals, i.e.,
.71 and .29), then save this record by selecting "Add Co-op Record." Continue
this process for each district and site. The percentage for the teacher should equal
100 percent. If you need to edit any co-op information, simply make the needed
changes and then select "Save All Edits" twice. The first time you select "Save
All Edits" the changed fields will be highlighted so you can double check your
changes. The second time will actually save the information.
Totals (Salary, Fringe, Extra Duty, and Other): As data is entered in the Salary and
Benefit edit screens, the figures will automatically be added to the appropriate area.
Total State FTE: As data is entered in the fraction-of-a-day and days employed
fields the figures will automatically be added here.
Total Federal FTE: As the federal money is being entered the figures will
automatically be added here.
• New button: This button is used for adding new employees to your report.
Additionally, this button will close any information that is currently being
shown and will allow you to enter information on a new employee. If you
accidentally select this button and clear the employee, you simply need to
reselect the person from the list of your employees. See Appendix I for
adding a new person.

whole dollar amounts, DO NOT use cents.
23
FODlDays Employed/Days Contract Fields
Federal FTE: This area will show the portion of this job that is paid by federal
dollars as shown in the information entered for this job. No entries are made by the
school district.
FOD (Fraction-of-a-Day Employed): Fraction of a day must be greater than .001
and equal to or less than 1.000. If a full-time employee has more than one base salary,
ensure that all base salary records equal a fraction of a day of 1.000; it should NOT be
greater than 1.000! The following Fraction-of-a-Day must be used for each of your
certified staff members:
Six Period School Day Seven Period School Day
1/6

.429
.571
.714
.857
1.000
Note: Use caution when entering this data to ensure the decimal point is in the
proper place. Many errors have been noted in the past because the full-time
employee was identified as working .100 instead of 1.000.
Note: At times, when a person works full-time in a day and has more than one
job class, the total Fraction of a Day may not add up to 1.000 by using the above
fractions. In these cases, change the Fraction of a Day for one of the entries so
the total will add up to ] .000. For example, if you have a person who works three
jobs, each at 2/6 (.333 each) of a day the total will add up to .999. In this instance
you would change one of the entries from .333 t-o .334, thus, resulting in a
Fraction of a Day of 1.000 to reflect the employee working a full day.
(Days) Employed: The Days Employed shows the number of school days this
teacher will work or did work in this job during the school year, including professional
days.
(Days) Contract: Show the numbers of days in the employee's full-time contract,
but not less than 180 days or more than 365. The contract days for the Superintendent
and/or Vocational Agriculture teacher MUST be 365 days. Principals normally work a
220- or 240-day contract. At this point, you will add this salary record. When you add
this salary record, you can then input the federal codes and salary, add a fringe record to
this salary record, continue to your next salary record, or continue to the next person.
24
Federal Codes/Salary
Federal Code: From the dropdown menu box, select the proper Federal Program for
the employee.
Federal Salary: Enter the amount of salary the employee receives from the selected
Federal Program. Round to the nearest whole dollar amount, DO NOT enter cents.

program, then repeat the data entry for the next federal code and federal salary. Then
select "Add Fed Code" again.
Add Federal Code box: This box adds the entered federal program information to
the employee's salary information.

Fringe Benefit Information
This year your previous year fringe benefits record will be shown with the dollar
amount zeroed out. Either enter an amount and save all edits or delete the fringe record if
it is tied to a different salary record. If you delete a salary record, you will also be
deleting the fringes that have the same record number. Remember to check your fringe
benefit records closely. When entering the salary information for an employee, you must
attach all of the person's applicable fringe benefits to that salary record. The following
are a few guidelines for attaching fringe benefits:
1. Base salary can have any or all fringe benefit codes attached.
2. The Flexible Benefit Allowance (FBA) is always attached to a base salary.
3. Unused sick leave, salary in lieu of fringe benefits, temporary salary, stipends,
and extra-duty pay can have only retirement fringe attached to them.
4. Disability/Self insurance, Early Retirement, Teacherage, Professional Dues,
Automobile/ Allowance/Travel, and Annuity/CD CAN have Retirement
Benefits, Code 251, attached.
5. Flexible Benefit Allowance cannot be paid with any federal money. The
monies for FBA are provided by the state.
6. When a person has federal salary attached to any pay type, the fringe benefits
should have a proportionate amount attached also.
25
7. Flexible Benefit Allowance (FBA) (state paid health insurance and/or cash in
lieu of amount) SHOULD be entered for most of the certified personnel as a
fringe benefit attached to the base salary.
Salary Record Number/Site/Job
The employee's Salary Record Number, Site, and Job will be populated from the
Certified Salary portion of the employee's record. The Salary Record Number is
assigned by the State Department of Education for internal purposes; the school district
has no actions to take with this number.
Steps for Adding Fringe Benefits to a Salary Record
1. Choose the salary record to which you wish to apply fringe benefit.
2. Click "Add Fringe" on the record of your choice.
3. You will add all fringe benefits that you wish to attach to this salary record.
4. Click the "Select Fringe" drop down box.
5. Select the appropriate fringe code.
6. Enter the amount of the fringe in which you choose. Remember to use whole
dollars, not cents.
7. Click the "Add Fringe" button.
8. If this salary record has federal money attached, you will now have the
opportunity to add federal money if the fringe is paid in whole or in part with
federal funds. You will not get this option for any Flexible Benefit Allowance
code.
9. If there is no federal money you will see a blue line appear on the left side of
the screen.
10. You can add another fringe record to this chosen salary record or click
"Finished. "
] 1. If your salary record has "federal," and the fringe should be paid with federal
money, you will click "Add Fringe." When you do this, another screen will
appear and you will then select the "Federal Code." Enter the amount of the
fringe benefit that is paid with federal money, then click "Add Federal
Code." If the fringe is not paid with federal money, just click "Finished."
This will take you to the fringe screen that you were working on. DO NOT
click "Back."
12. When you have entered all of the fringe codes to this salary record, click
"Finished." This will take you back to the certified screen. You can then
choose another salary record or review the fringe benefits that you have added
by scrolling down.
Edits
Information that needs to be changed must be done from the primary page. The
primary page is the first page that comes up when you select a person's name. To make a
change, you simply change the information that is incorrect and then select "Save All
Edits" at the bottom of the appropriate box. Your salary information will be populated
with the previous year data, except that the subject codes, program codes (NEW THIS
26
YEAR) and amounts will be blank. The fringe benefit records will also be populated
with the previous year information, with the exception of the amounts. If you delete a
salary record then all of the fringe records tied to that salary will be deleted.
