[quote] I wonder if they do exit surveys when teachers leave. My guess is that pay isn't the issue. For one, it could be overcrowded classrooms, not enough support, or unruly children. [/quote]
Go back and read the article.  It says that PG county is the 5th highest average salary in the Metropolitan area.  So there are 4 other counties in the state that pay better (and likely the two neighboring counties of MoCo and HoCo are 2 of the 4), which are relatively easy commutes from PG county.

Also:
[quote=Gazette Article] ...The school system had 983 voluntary departures during the previous school year, said Debra Sullivan, recruitment and retention officer in the Office of Human Resources.

Sullivan said many of those departures were due to the issue of employee compensation, based on voluntary online exit interviews...[/quote][/quote]

MOCO and Harford county both have a way higher cost of living.  So it actually makes sense that they pay more, given that it costs more to live there.

PG comes in in the middle, which means the pay is about average.
