AUXINFO

The links below show District 11 Northern Region (D11NR) Public Education hours in 2008 for lead, non-lead, and trainee positions, and the number of course graduates.  This information comes from AUXINFO and is usually updated each weekend.  "Zero suppression" is used to remove rows and columns with zero values -- this means that if you don't see data for a group or individual it is because they have no data yet in AUXINFO.

Data for flotillas and individuals can be found by left clicking and drilling down on the left column.    Data for different time periods can be displayed by changing the date field at the top.  In the education hours report, left click on the hours column to expand and list the various classes.
