[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The head of school himself said during a recent tour that the teacher turnover rate last year for 30 percent, and that he acknowledged it was a problem. that number is stunning and is high above the norm. [/quote]

I have no idea if that is accurate but that is certainly not "stunning or "high above the norm."

Between the 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years, DC had a citywide teacher turnover rate of 26%, with some wards averaging 30%. [b] That is the highest teacher turnover rate of any urban area in the United States.[/b]

DCPS teachers can easily earn in the six figures annually and the new collective bargaining agreement gives them a 12% pay raise with pay bumps applying retroactively to cover the three-year-long negotiating process.  In comparison, DC charters can barely compete on salary and schools like BASIS have to rely upon parent donations to try to make up some of the difference.

Yet, still, teachers leave DCPS in droves, around 25-30% every year.[/quote]
