Indicates the total personnel expense for all
teachers, media specialists, subject specialists (art, music, & physical
education), counselors, psychologists, and social workers at |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the prescribed staffing ratios for each
program, all of whom are paid in accordance with the State's minimum salary
schedule. The cost of media center personnel is included by |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing the cost of each program by |
$
85.04 |
per
FTE. Based on the data in the midterm
"Earnings Sheet for FY 2002" for all systems issued by the
Georgia |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Department of Education on 6/26/02. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Equals
1% of total personnel expense. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Equals
$188 per FTE, based on 90% of the statewide average cost for textbooks and
materials in FY 2002, $25 per FTE for media materials, and $25 per FTE for
instructional |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
instructional equipment. The actual cost
includes $25.27 per FTE for instructional equipment and an estimate of $20
per FTE for media materials. Based on data compiled by the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consortium for Educational Research in Georgia
on 12/3/03. The specific amounts per student should vary among the indicated
programs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4) |
Equals 10% of instructional personnel expenses
at the class level, which is |
80% |
of the actual cost in FY 2002 (12). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
(5) |
Equals
3% of instructional personnel expenses at the school level, which is |
76% |
of the actual cost in FY 2002 (12). |

|
(6) |
Equals 80% of the statewide av. cost, after
deleting the top 20% and bottom 20% of all systems (by enrollment) in terms
of their cost per student. This est. is |
76% |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the
actual cost in FY 2002 (12). It is
also equivalent to |
$ 3.63 |

floor |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
area per high-school classroom by a class with
25 students. This cost per SF is less than the cost of maintaining suburban

to data published by the Institute of Real
Estate Management in 2003. |
