Information in this report, provided in 16 data tables, was derived from New York State's Basic Educational Data System and state teacher certification files. Data are based on information submitted by all public elementary schools and secondary schools in the state. Several statistics about professional school personnel in New York are given. Information presented by professional field (tables 1 through 6) deals with positions rather than with people. Persons who work in more than one professional field are counted once in each field. Tables showing the characteristics of teachers (tables 7 and 8) and administrators (tables 9-16) represent unduplicated counts of individuals. In addition, except for the information on salaries, no distinction is made between full- and part-time positions. Information is provided on number, salaries, degree status, certification status, experience, age distribution, and geographic distribution of school professional personnel, with characteristics of principals grouped by school level.
