A startling report by a state agency finds that more than half of Alabama teacher leave within three years of their hire.
by a state agency finds that more than half of Alabama teacher leave within three years of their hire.
Chickasaw schools Superintendent David Wofford disputed the specific figures. He said the most recent figures from his system suggest a retention rate of new teachers at almost 80 percent. But he and other school administrators acknowledged that keeping teachers on the job is a major challenge. The report estimates the cost of replacing a teacher ranges from $9,000 to $40,000. That comes to as much as $652 million to replace the 16,305 newly hired teachers who left over the past decade.
“It’s getting harder and harder to retain teachers,” said Arnold Cox, principal of the Chickasaw Middle-High School. “Very rarely do you see teachers actually work a 40-hour work week,” he said. “I mean, it’s 40 hours in the classroom, not necessarily 40 hours when you include grading papers, coaching, things like that. I think sometimes it comes down to feeling a little bit like you’re on an island.”“The job has changed,” she said. “And COVID has presented a challenge we hadn’t had before.”
