4. Actual data: The LEA must use actual and reliable data from schools (as captured in Chalkable, the
student database system) and the Child Nutrition Report to make calculations of student enrollment,
full-time equivalent (FTE) for teachers and staff, etc. Student enrollment and instructional staff FTE
data used to compute comparability are to be collected on the designated Comparability date, i.e.,
September 30 . Students will be counted as “unweighted”. The documents used to determine
th
comparability are:
• Student Summary Count from Chalkable or student summary count report from the district’s
current student information database system;
• Monthly Child Nutrition Eligibility Report as of the designated date, generated by the Office of
Child Nutrition;
• MUNIS Payroll Comparability Information Report as provided by the Business Manager;
• Month 1 MSIS Detail Personnel Listing Report, generated by the district MSIS Coordinator;
and/or
• School Teacher Rosters as provided by the principal/applicable departments, i.e., Exceptional
Services, or verification of school personnel with appropriate school/district personnel.

5. Method - HCSD will use the pupil-teacher ratio to determine comparability (Form B1or
current MDE form). Should any school not be comparable using the pupil-teacher ratio, the
district will then use the per pupil expenditures to determine comparability (Form B2 or current
MDE form). Salaries will be the base salary (years of service will not be used) for staff and
certification level for teachers, i.e., A, AA.

School Instructional Staff – Non-federal instructional staff at each school shall include staff as indicated
below who are NOT paid with private or federal funds (Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, Homeless,
Migrant, N&D, IDEA, JROTC, Perkins/Vocational, etc.):

Teachers serving two or more schools, such as music, art, physical education, gifted, etc., are to be
counted based on their scheduled assignment at each school. For example, a band teacher who serves
multiple schools would be counted for the fractional portion of his/her day assigned to that school.
