Annual Staff Report

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) requires the LEAs to report annual information on staff members actively employed and who separated during the reporting period. Based on the data received, MSDE prints summary information in various MSDE publications, including:

  • Analysis of Professional Salaries

  • Staff Employed at School and Central Office Levels

  • Professional Staff by Type of Degree and Years of Experience

  • Professional Staff by Assignment, Race/Ethnicity, and Gender

The MD Annual Staff Report fulfills the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) requirement by reporting active and separated staff members.

Menu path

From the Human Resources menu, select State. From the State - MD menu, select Annual Staff Report.

Submission period

A specified reporting year.

Selection rule

Includes all the employees actively employed and separated during the specified reporting year.

Prerequisites

UTIS Data Transfer

Use the UTIS Data Transfer option to update or request Staff IDs from the state.

Upload to UTIS

The Upload to UTIS option creates a file to be sent to the state, requesting unique teacher state identification numbers for specific employees.

To create the upload file, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Upload to UTIS.

  2. Select the Report Year of the loaded staff records.

  3. Select Create and then Yes.

Before creating the upload file, you must load the data for the reporting year.

Download from UTIS

The Download from UTIS option updates the unique teacher state identification number in the application from a file received from the state.

To download the UTIS file, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Download from UTIS.

  2. Select Update Staff ID to update the staff ID. Leave it unchecked to generate the report only.
    When Update Staff ID is selected, the following are updated:

Before creating the download file, you must load the data for the reporting year.

While processing the file, the program attempts to match using the employee ID. If the employee ID is missing, the SSN is used to match an employee. If both the employee ID and the SSN are missing, the program uses the birthdate and last name, without the suffix, to match an employee. A warning message is generated if these methods fail to find a match.

  3. Select Load, then Yes.

  4. If your employees are under position control, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.

  6. Save the Load Summary report and select OK.

  8. Navigate to the folder containing the summary report and error log files.

  9. Inspect the files. Update data if needed.

  10. Repeat these steps until all required data is loaded.

The loaded records display on the MD Annual Staff Report page.

Employees will not be loaded if:

  • The termination date falls outside the specified date range.

  • The hire date is after the specified end date.

  • There are records with blanks in all location, position, and budget unit fields.

All employees will be loaded with a Type 1 record. If an employee's time is split between locations, schools, budget codes, or position types, it is necessary to prorate the salary and report the additional information on Type 2 records. Therefore, all the assignments/positions with the same position, budget code, and location are in the same record. The highest percentage of time assignment is in the Type 1 record. All other assignments are Type 2 records.

The Type 1 record contains up to six subject codes, listed in the percentage of time order. When a Type 1 record is created, subject 1 receives the initial subject code. Each time the Type 1 record for an employee is updated with a new assignment, its subject code is added to the following subject field, with a maximum of six subject fields. Along with each subject code, the teacher will be marked if they are certified and their FTE for the subject. The certification is based on whether the teacher's Subject/Certificate combination is in the Subject/Certificate Crosswalk on the MD Annual Staff Report page.

The codes in the National Board Certification drop-down list are retrieved from the Credential Codes reference table. The National Board Certification code selected on the Load page is validated against the Credential code on the employee's Credential Data page. If the National Board Certification code matches the active Credential codes for that employee, the field value will be Y. The field value will be N for Position 11 and blank for others if either of the following is true:

  • The employee does not have active credentials.

  • The selected Credential code expired before the Start Date selected on the Load page.

An error log is generated if:

  • The position, budget code, or location fields are blank.

  • The employee's birth date is missing.

If the Use Budget Code Crosswalk option on the Human Resources Profile - State page is selected, an error will be generated if a match for the budget code in the crosswalk table cannot be found.
