\1\Data are based on a head count of all teachers rather than on the number of full-time-equivalent teachers appearing in other tables.
\2\Teachers with less than a bachelor's degree are not shown. \3\Elementary teachers are those who taught self-contained classes at the elementary level and secondary teachers are those who taught departmentalized classes (e.g., science, art, social science, or other course subjects) at the secondary level. Excludes special education teachers. Teachers were classified as elementary or secondary on the basis of the grades they taught, rather than on the level of the school in which they taught. ---Data not available. NOTE.--Excludes prekindergarten teachers. Details may not add to totals due to rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
