5 of 6 staff count as teaching staff; a school leader is not a teacher, so Tomás Iglesias is not counted. Headroom is the base allowance plus the additional allowance, minus the uncertified teachers not already counted against the mathematics/science/CS/tech/CTE allowance: 1 + 5 − 1 = 5.

Priya RamanExceptional business, professional, artistic, athletic or military experienceYesAgainst the allowance
Curtis MbekiThree or more years of classroom experienceNoAgainst the allowance

The lesser of thirty percent of the teaching staff of a charter school, or five teachers of the charter school. Plus five teachers of mathematics, science, computer science, technology, or career and technical education. Plus five additional teachers. A teacher certified or otherwise approved by the commissioner shall not be counted.

Ten questions

Questions schools ask

What does “verified” mean in TeachPassport?
An administrator recorded what the official lookup showed on a date. TeachPassport does not query the state.
Which states are supported?
Any US state’s teacher certificate lookup works. Charter schools see their state’s certification rules for Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York (with the uncertified-teacher allowance), Pennsylvania and South Carolina; the certification requirements panel is Texas only.
Can TeachPassport see inside TEACH, ECOS, or the Florida system?
No.
What do we do when a lookup shows no result?
Record “no matching public result,” then follow the state’s guidance linked on the page. Recheck after that.
Who can see our register?
Only administrators an owner has added to your organization. Each administrator uses their own confirmed email address.
What happens to our data if we cancel?
Cancel any time from your billing page; access continues to the end of the paid period, then editing stops. You can still read and export everything. To have an organization's data deleted, an owner asks from Settings: the organization is deactivated right away, and its data is deleted 30 days later unless a legal hold applies. That request can be cancelled any time before then.
Do you store employee documents or Social Security numbers?
No Social Security numbers. You may attach an optional screenshot of the official lookup result to a verification record. Training completion details are recorded without uploading the certificate.
How is the New York charter allowance calculated?
The lesser of 30% of the teaching staff or five teachers, plus five mathematics, science, computer science, technology or CTE teachers, plus five more, under Education Law §2854(3)(a-1). The count uses the records you entered.
Is there a contract or purchase order?
Card only. Invoices come from your billing page, and a W-9 on request.
How do I get help?
