		Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS): An integrated survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers conducted during the 1987-88 and 1990-91 school years, and scheduled to be conducted at 3-year intervals.
		In 29 percent of schools the teacher's seniority level was reported to have no influence over the assignment of teachers to courses, and 20 percent of schools also indicated that the ability level of students in the course had no effect on teacher assignments.
		However, 26 percent of schools reported that students are almost never moved to a lower level English course, and a smaller percentage (16 percent) indicated that students are almost never moved to a lower level math course (Tables 10 and 11).
