				  education certificated instructional staff" means the number of staff units
				  determined as follows:
(1)Each employee
				of the school district or charter school who, as of October 1 of the school
				year, is contracted to provide services as a basic education certificated
				instructional employee for not less than 180 full work days shall be counted as
				one FTE.
(2)Each employee of the
				school district or charter school who, as of October 1 of the school year, is
				contracted to provide services for 180 partial days as a basic education
				certificated instructional employee shall be counted as a partial FTE, such
				part to be the quotient to three decimal places obtained by dividing that part
				of the day worked by the full day as determined by the district or charter
				school.
(3)Each employee of the
				school district or charter school who, as of October 1 of the school year, is
				contracted to provide services for less than 180 full work days as a basic
				education certificated instructional employee shall be counted as a partial
				FTE, such part to be the quotient rounded to three decimal places obtained by
				dividing the number of work days contracted for by 180: Provided, That if the
				normal annual full-time contract for the position exceeds 180 work days, the
				greater number of work days normally contracted shall be used as the
				divisor.
(4)Each employee of the
				school district or charter school who, as of October 1 of the school year, is
				contracted to provide services for less than 180 partial days as a basic
				education certificated instructional employee shall be counted as a partial
				FTE, such part to be the quotient rounded to three decimal places obtained by
				dividing the part of the day worked by the full day as determined by the
				district or charter school and then multiplying the result by the ratio of work
				days contracted for to 180: Provided, That if the normal annual fulltime
				contract for the position exceeds 180 work days, the greater number of work
				days normally contracted shall be used in place of 180 in the ratio.
(5)No employee shall be counted as more than
				one fulltime equivalent basic education certificated staff unit.

				this section shall be determined by the district or charter school.
