Administrator-Teacher Ratio <br />
California Education Code (EC) sections 41401—41407 limit the ratio of administrators<br />
to teachers in public school districts and require that compliance be subject to the<br />
annual audit conducted pursuant to EC Section 41020. This section does not apply to a<br />
school district that has one or fewer administrators. Based on the findings of the audit,<br />
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to impose a financial penalty<br />
on those school districts that employ more administrators than allowed, unless the<br />
penalty is waived by action of the State Board of Education. The number of<br />
administrators allowed in any school district varies by the type of school district. The<br />
statutory maximum ratios of administrative employees to each 100 teachers are as<br />
follows:<br />
Type of School District<br />
Elementary<br />
Unified<br />
High<br />
Administrators Allowed<br />
9 administrators<br />
8 administrators<br />
7 administrators<br />
The financial penalty for exceeding the allowed ratio is calculated by computing the ratio<br />
of total general fund state revenue to the district’s total general fund revenue, then<br />
multiplying that ratio by the average administrative salary, and finally multiplying the<br />
product by the number of excess administrative employees.<br />
