The Public School Support Personnel (SupPer) is a web-based data collection for part-time and full-time public school support personnel data.
Special Note for Public LEAs
School districts, IUs, AVTSs, special program jointures, and most charter schools have already established initial ePDE security for other applications. These LEAs already have an ePDE security administrator, and so any new SupPer approvers and users can be registered and approved online.
PDE will not process initial security spreadsheets for any LEA that currently has an ePDE security administrator assigned. Instead, the ePDE security administrator can add the role of SupPer security approver to any existing user who is an ePDE security administrator, security approver, or application user for the LEA. This can be done using the "Perform Administrative Functions" link on the ePDE welcome page. Following the instructions shown on the web page, the security administrator should:
Select an existing LEA user
Select the "Edit Security Profile" option
Assign the SupPer Approver role to the selected user
After a SupPer security approver is designated, other SupPer users can register and be approved using the procedures in Appendix B.
New users should refer to steps 2 and 3 of Appendix A for procedures on setting up a PA PowerPort UserID, which is required before registering to use SupPer.
Any questions about online ePDE security registration or administrative functions can be directed to the Web Portal Help Desk at 717-783-6686, or e-mailed to ra-pdetech@pa.gov. When e-mailing, be sure to include your AUN and name.
