## Method

Positions are counted from each person's published job title, classified into Whistle's role vocabulary (shared/staff-roles.ts); this group is the "equipment" role.

Change counts compare successive reads of each school's official directory; a school's first extraction and any day on which 25% or more of a roster appears or disappears at once (a re-read, not turnover) are excluded. This page is published when at least 3 covered America East schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.
