\1\Data are based upon a sample survey and may not be strictly comparable with data reported elsewhere. \2\Includes certificate of advanced graduate studies. NOTE: Excludes prekindergarten teachers. Data are based on a head count of all teachers rather than on the number of full-time-equivalent teachers reported in other tables. Detail may not sum to totals due to survey item nonresponse and rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
