[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend left our district and went to another district. She hasn't even started there yet (she will start in August) but she got a signing bonus. Our district didn't give us any bonuses and she gets a bonus before she even works there. That tells you something. All districts should be required to do exit interviews AND publish that data.[/quote]

In the business world, exit interviews are considered a best HR practice. We you see similar complaints or reasons, they show administrators of areas that need improvement to stop the losses.  Loosing experienced employees that an organization invests with training is a true loss because it’s difficult to replace that caliber of candidate because you will have to start fresh with the training.

I am surprised that MCPS doesn’t do exit interviews and teacher satisfaction surveys to have data for areas needing improvement. Typically that’s a sign from administrators who are uncomfortable at what the people underneath them would say. Without fixing problems, the problems will fester, teachers will remain unhappy, and teachers will leave at a higher rate than they can be replaced. [/quote]
