Question: How do they (ACPS) distribute their support staff in the schools equitably, what is their staffing formula for that? (Councilman Elnoubi)
Response: ACPS is required to have 3 Student Support Team (SST) positions per 1,000 students division-wide (or 1 to 333.33). ACPS ensures that every school has at least 1 Social Worker, 1 Psychologist, and 1 Nurse. Additional SST positions are allocated based on a number of factors including, student enrollment, school demographics, and the need of a school community.
