Anonymous wrote:Out of curiosity, how many teachers are leaving your school next year? At my ES there is 10 that we know of so far. Im wondering if the shortage situation is going to be better or worse than last year for the county.

To me this metric is meaningless without additional data. For example, I’d like to know:

the delta between outgoing and incoming (not known until late summer);

the primary reason for leaving (eg, administrative issues, unsuitable match, retirement, career change, etc)

the seniority of the teachers;

and so on.

When you leave a job, is there ever any difference between the reason you give officially and the real reason that was the tipping point?

That may be the “new normal” for the past five or so years, but definitely not the norm 15 years ago.

Heard there are 40 at one HS. "...but that's normal."

Someone on the staff Facebook said 17 a while back. So not only are they losing staff, any staff member looking for a new position and searches the Facebook page is going to know about it. Teachers ask around when looking for new schools and principals do not want to have a bad reputation. Those positions will be hard to fill.

Don’t think we’ll know until the fall. People can leave over the summer.

How many are leaving at Navy?

A lot of people wait to resign until the last minute to avoid retaliation. My admin has been nasty to the people who are leaving.

OP here - this person worked at another school, accepted a job here, then resigned from FCPS altogether.

Yup I've seen that too....people truly are done. They got their out

I've seen this happen more than once....just another reason teachers are done.

I’ve also seen teachers that are leaving the profession leave over the summer so that they don’t have to explain themselves to coworkers or admin.

I know several teachers who have gotten new jobs and then don't say anything until the very last .invite on purpose because they've been treated so badly they want a little revenge. As a young teacher, I thought this was horrible. As a veteran teacher, I totally get it.
