Teacher turnover a concern at Texas charter schools
Jan. 27, 2010
More than 40 of 200 charter school operators had to replace more than half of their teaching staffs
From The Texas Tribune: More than 40 of nearly 200 charter operators tracked by the state of Texashad to replace more than half their teaching staffs before the last school year. Even more established and successful operators, including KIPP and YES Prep in Houston, lose nearly a third of their teachers annually. In contrast, just six of more than 1,000 non-charter school districts statewide had more than half their teachers leave, and none of the 20 largest school districts had a turnover rate higher than 16 percent.
