Revised/New FAQs • To which Program Code do you assign a teacher job class for dual language instruction? 4010 (Bilingual) or 1010 (Regular Education)? • You would code the entire salary to 4010 (Bilingual) since all students in the class are receiving bilingual instruction. • Also, Supplement 3 says to not include expenditures in 1010 (Regular Education) that have already been included in 4010 (Bilingual Education).

  18. Revised/New FAQs • In the four digit 'program' code, may districts use a code in the last place? (E.g., instead of 1010 for regular education, how about 1011 for elementary and 1012 for secondary?) • Districts can use additional codes to help differentiate between elementary and secondary internally, but for reporting to PED the additional codes i.e. 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, etc. would roll up to 1010.

  19. Revised/New FAQs • What program code do we use for concurrent college courses taught by our teachers? • Even though they are receiving college credit, they are also receiving graduation credit. Therefore, you would use 1010 (Regular Education), 3000 Vocational and Technical Education, or 4020 (Alternative and At-Risk Education), depending on the type of course.

For example, Job Classification 1217 (Secretarial/Clerical/Technical Assistants) includes secretaries, receptionists, clerks, data entry clerks, system analysts, work-study students, and other related employees. Each of these is likely to have a different level of education.

  22. Revised/New FAQs • In a small school district, people wear multiple hats. What about a superintendent who is also Director of Transportation and receives extra pay for doing this?
