Teacher Turnover in North Carolina

I wanted to highlight this article from the Charlotte Observer, not because it proves anything one way or the other about teacher turnover, but because it provides actual empirical data! Untainted by advocacy! It's only for North Carolina, but nice to have nonetheless.

North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction does this study every year, so we have data going back quite a while which tracks where teachers are going and why. This year's report reveals that once again, a teacher is twice as likely to "die in office" than he is to be fired.
