Legislative Class Size (LCS)

---

Setup Needed for LCS

1. Pull Out Scheduling (ONLY if using)
   1. Scheduling Resource Students | NC Department of Public Instruction
2. Combined Grade Level classes
   1. NC Legislative Class Size Collection | Infinite Campus (Combined and Pull-Out Classes Section)
3. Dual Language Immersion sections (Scheduling & Courses > Courses > Section Information)
   1. Add the Instructional Provider code 20: Dual Language Immersion to each section, including any that are also combination or pull-out sections. 

4. Only the Primary Teacher, Teacher of Record (TOR) and the Secondary Lead Teacher (SLT) roles will be used in the lead teacher calculations of the Legislative Class Size (LCS) Report.
   1. If a role is not assigned to teachers in a section, the Primary Teacher without a role automatically defaults as the Primary or Lead Teacher on the section.  
   2. A role is not required for Section Staff History unless an additional teacher also needs to be considered a lead teacher for LCS purposes.
   3. If no primary teacher exists, then staff added as a Teacher or as Section Staff will be considered as the lead teacher only if they have a role of Teacher of Record (TOR) or Secondary Lead Teacher (SLT).
   4. Multiple lead teachers can be represented in the LCS by having a primary teacher and staff attached to the teacher or section staff area. The staff attached to the teacher or section staff area must have the role of Teacher of Record (TOR) or Secondary Lead Teacher (SLT) in order to be considered as a lead teacher.
