Totals and subtotals are footnoted in the tables when one or more items included in the total are imputed or adjusted. Several states collapse two or more categories of staff into one. In these cases, NCES disaggregates this number by distributing the reported amount to the several categories based on the average distribution of these staff in other states. NCES made no adjustments or imputations to the high school graduate, high school equivalency or other high school completion data except in New Jersey. This includes secretarial and other clerical staff, and persons whose activities are concerned with support of the teaching and administrative duties of the office of the principal or department chairpersons, or central office administrators.
Membership includes students both present and absent on the measurement day.
A regular diploma recognizes that the recipient has completed a prescribed course of studies at the secondary school level. States report teachers in these categories. They do not necessarily reflect standard grade groupings.
