[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a ten year girl and she is distressed about turnover in general. Many of her beloved teachers have left and there has been a high rate of turnover across the board—faculty have been leaving in droves and there is high turnover in communications and other areas of the school. While individual turnover can be explained I think there is a larger problem here. A new HOS can often trigger restructuring and departures but it’s been a few years and the rate of great teachers and staff leaving has not slowed down. Students are definitely noticing [/quote]

Do you or does anyone know exactly how many teachers (“droves”?) have left in the last two or five or ten years? How does that compare to ten yrs ago? How does it compare to other comparable schools in the local market? Any actual numbers?[/quote]

This has been rehashed many times on this site. I think the count is somewhere 80-85 since the new HOS started, faculty and staff.[/quote]

Does anyone know what the average faculty and staff turnover rate is at privates?

It’s ~15%.

Holton has about 200 faculty and staff members.

85 / 200 = 42.5% / 3 years  = ~14%

No, I’m not PR or “CCO”. I’m just tired of the same boring (or bored) poster with the same  argument stirring the pot, trying to create drama.

Let's say 15% is accurate, though I'm not sure where that number comes from.

Year 3 is not over yet. We have no idea what the fall out will be by the end of this school year.

What we do know is that by the end of year 2, about 70 faculty and staff members had left, a loss of about 35%.

Embarrassingly high.[/quote]
