Catalytic and Staffed Campus

Ever since the structure change in 1991 (yes, that is 16 years ago) we have had this funky Catalytic / Staffed Campus division. (Catalytic schools have a staff coach from a distance, Staffed Campus has a dedicated team). So, last year about this time I embarked on a simple investigation. I wrote a Catalytic Regional Director with this question: "From all the students who come to your Christmas Conference, what is the CAT / Staffed Campus breakdown . . . And how does that compare to how the staff are allocated in region. In other words, what percentage of the coference are from Catalytic schools and then what percentage of the your staff are catalytic staff? – I am curious if it is about the same.

Here is his response:
"Got the final numbers on Cat students at the conference. There were 814 students from non-SC schools. If you take out the schools that Staffed Campus teams own there are still over 700 of the 1900 students. So, 1/3+ students …. ¼ of staff "

I copied our national CAT leader on the email and he gave me this reply:
"These catalytic numbers pretty much echo the average across the country…a few more in some regions…somewhat less in regions where we simply don’t have anything developed. Usually it works out to about 1/3 of the students with about 1/10 of the staff. Imagine if each staff were actually coaching 5 campuses instead of 2. On the sending side, however, the numbers still lag further behind the 1/3 number…but, they are improving somewhat each year."
