Public school districts with 100 or more employees in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia report full-time staff, part-time staff, and new hires across standardized assignment categories by race/ethnicity and sex. EEO-5 is collected biennially in even-numbered years and covers the payroll period closest to October 1 (no later than November 30) of the reporting year. Each row is an aggregate cell keyed by state, year, assignment category, employment classification, race/ethnicity, and sex; counts pass through confidentiality suppression.'
