In this current fiscal reality, many districts are figuring out how to protect crucial investments with less funding. One district, Metro Nashville Public Schools, offers inspiration. As the ESSER window was coming to a close, the district made a plan to secure bridge funding from the city to extend its academic and instructional leadership efforts. Now, with a clear North Star, the district has a much stronger foundation to navigate further uncertainty.

Every student deserves access to high-quality teaching, but high levels of teacher turnover strain a district's ability to meet this need. Furthermore, teacher turnover disproportionately impacts students with the highest needs. Learn more about the teacher turnover trends happening across the country, including which teachers are more likely to leave their role, where they're going once they leave, and what education leaders can do to mitigate it:

Our original research, derived from fieldwork with nine large school districts, shows that turnover rates have increased significantly from pandemic all-time lows. This analysis takes a closer look at some key findings:

"...if I’m a principal and 30% of my teachers are leaving my school every year, that is a huge deal to the learning of the kids in my building.” ERS Partner Tara Anderson was interviewed for this in-depth coverage by EdWeek's Sarah Sparks of our latest teacher turnover analysis.

District administrators may have more ability to guide teacher turnover than they think, new data suggest.

Are special education teachers leaving their schools more than their peers? And where are they going when they leave the role? When special education teachers leave their schools, students end up with teachers who must learn their unique learning needs and build relationships with them, their families, and their other educators. Learn more about turnover among these teachers, and others, in our updated analysis:

Teacher turnover is often reported at the district level, rather than the school level. This overlooks one key factor: teachers who transfer to another school within the same district. Whether a teacher transfers to another school within the district or leaves for a different district altogether, the impact on the student is the same. Check out our updated teacher turnover analysis for the full picture of what's happening across the country, including a new section on turnover among special education teachers:
