Common use of Calculating FTE Clause in Contracts

Calculating FTE. a) For new part-time teachers or teachers who have had their instructional time changed for the 2017-2018 school year: • Divide the number of actual instructional hours assigned to the part-time teacher by the number of instructional hours typically assigned to full-time teachers in the school (i.e. a teacher assigned 440 hours of instruction in a school where the typical full-time teacher is assigned 880 hours would have an FTE of 0.5). b) For teachers whose instructional time has not changed from the 2016-2017 school year: • Do the same calculation as in (a) and compare the result to the teacher’s FTE from the previous school year. If the result is a higher FTE, then the FTE is increased or the instructional load should be reduced. If the FTE calculated is less, then the FTE is the same as in the previous school year.
