Separation reports for August. 106 teachers but they might have left before the school year started.

It's not broken down by school

That info isn’t public this is all of the info we get

There was another posting at one point called How many teachers are leaving your school? Our school had huge turnover last year. I was hoping that it would raise some red flags and someone would have to be held accountable although it appears that losing 30 staff members is business as usual in FCPS.

I don’t know if it’s true but I have heard that admin isn’t even evaluated on turnover.

It's probably because they don't want to get rid of incompetent admin.

It boggles the mind how at our school we have resource teachers but not a 6th grade teacher and we have classes upwards of 30 kids per class. Due to an admin/HR grave error, our school lost a teacher before school started. They moved the teacher that was meant to teach science and social studies to teach math and we have a vacancy for science and social studies. Our kids have been missing a teacher since the beginning of the year. It's just a bad situation and I don't see any improvement headed our way. It's really unfair to the kids and to the teachers that have to pick up the slack. They even hired an extra k teacher when it didn't seem that necessary, but 6th remains vacant. Alas, I just came on here to vent.

This is more about a principal than the teacher shortage or the county. They'll blame it on everything else, but they nearly all lie about things they actually have control over, keeping it even from the staff.

This is what I have also heard. Admin needs a shake up for things to stabilize. Losing 30+ staff in one year really should raise some red flags.

It doesn’t, especially when there’s a new admin in place. Seems to be par for the course in FCPS. You’re going to see huge turnover now in FCPS as teacher morale drops lower and lower. The higher ups don’t care. As long as they have warm bodies in the classroom they consider it ok.

Those positions probably won’t be filled until December at best with a new teacher who is a winter grad or someone who relocated. Or it just won’t be filled at all.

Guess we’re about to test out this theory in real time. Personally, I think it’s going to create way more chaos than stability. But hey, we don’t have enough teachers. Why not get rid of a principal as well?

I think we will see a principal shortage in FCPS this year. They will go to other counties where there is not so much chaos.
