Professional Certified Staff (PCS) Information

The State Department of Education (SDE) is required to collect information on professional staff personnel to meet the requirements under the South Carolina Education Finance Act (EFA), and School Laws of South Carolina.  The primary purpose of the Professional Certified Staff (PCS) is to catalog all professional staff employed by a district during the current school year to:

• Collect accurate data to determine NBC, and teacher supply funding
• Officially update the professional personnel file in the Office of Education Professions to provide credit for total years of experience in education
• Display information for the Assisting, Developing, and Evaluating Professional Teaching (ADEPT) system
