NC TEACHER TURNOVER REPORT
2010-2011
G. S. 115C-12(22) requires the State Board of Education to monitor and compile an annual report on the decisions
of teachers to leave the teaching profession. To this end, LEAs are asked to complete a survey on an annual basis.
The survey for the 2010-2011 school year asked LEAs to report the total number of teachers employed in the system
between March 2010 and March 2011, the total number of teachers leaving the system, the number of teachers with
tenure who were leaving, and the reason given by teachers for leaving. The results of the surveys are summarized in
the following pages.
Teacher Turnover Reporting Data 2010-2011
LEA level turnover for the 2011 School Report Card is calculated based on the individuals employed in the LEA as
teachers in March 2010, but not employed in the LEA as teachers in March 2011, as reflected in the DPI
Licensure/Salary database. LEA turnover does not include teachers who moved from one school to another school
in the LEA. Personnel administrators were provided a list of individuals employed as teachers in the LEA in March
2010, but not employed in the LEA as teachers in March 2011, and asked to provide summative data on the reasons
these teachers left teaching. The numbers of teachers leaving when totaled should equal the total number of teachers
on the list provided to the LEA personnel administrator. This change brings consistency to the turnover numbers
that are being reported.
Appendix A provides information as to how teacher turnover was determined for 2010-2011. This is the same
procedure used for the State Report Card.
Survey Instruments Used
Copies of the survey used and clarifying examples are contained in Appendix B. As before, LEAs were asked to
identify up to five teaching areas in which they found the greatest difficulty in hiring appropriately licensed teachers.
Their responses have been summarized and are included in this report.
Turnover
The 115 school systems reported that 10,792.5 teachers of the 96,651 teachers employed during the 2010-2011
school year left their systems for a system level turnover rate of 11.17%. This represents a slight increase in the
turnover rate reported for the 2009-2010 school year (11.10%). This figure includes Visiting International Faculty
(VIF) who are required to return to their home countries after three years. VIF teachers accounted for 108 teachers
who left and removal of this category would reflect a system level turnover rate of 11.05%.
Of the 10,792.5 teachers reported leaving, 4,594 (42.56%) had tenure. During the 2009-10 school year 36.52% of
the teachers who left had tenure, during the 2008-09 school year, 35.55% of the teachers who left teaching had
tenure, and during the 2007-08 school year 33.96% of the teachers who left had tenure.
Turnover rates ranged from a high of 23.97% in Pamlico County to a low of 1.52% in Camden County. A listing of
turnover by systems is included in Appendix C. Appendix D contains a listing of turnover reported by local systems
for the last five years.

 This year, 2010-2011, the system level turnover is 11.17% which is slightly up from the 11.1% reported for 2009-2010.
 The top five reasons for teachers leaving for 2010-11 are as follows:
1. Retired 2. To teach elsewhere*
5. Other/Unknown Reasons
3. Family Relocation
4. Stayed in LEA but in non-teaching position
*While this reason indicates a loss to the local system, it does not represent a loss to the State.

Categories of Reasons why Teachers Leave the Profession
Remained/Remaining in Education
(includes individuals resigning to teach in another NC LEA or charter school and individuals who moved to
non-teaching positions in education)
Turnover that Might be Reduced
(includes individuals retiring with reduced benefits, individuals resigning to teach in a non-public school in
NC, individuals resigning to teach in another state, individuals dissatisfied with teaching, individuals
seeking a career change, and individuals who resigned for unknown and other reasons)
Turnover Initiated by the LEA
(Includes individuals who were non-renewed, dismissed, or resigned in lieu of dismissal)
Turnover Beyond Control
(Includes individuals who retired with full benefits, individuals who resigned for health reasons, individuals
who resigned due to family responsibilities and/or childcare, and individuals who resigned due to family
relocation)
As reflected in the chart that follows, 25% of those teachers reported as leaving remained in education; 10% of the
reported turnover was initiated by the LEA; 42% of the turnover was for reasons beyond control; and 23% of the
reported turnover might be reduced.
The results of the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey, conducted by the Office of the Governor in
conjunction with the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards Commission and the North Carolina
Association of Educators, provide information that can help address Turnover that Might be Reduced. The survey
provides state, district, and school level data on teacher perceptions of empowerment, facilities and resources,
leadership, professional development, and time.

How Teacher Turnover is Determined for the
Teacher Turnover Report and the State Report Card

How Teacher Turnover Is Determined for the State Report Card
1.
For the 2011 State Report Card (SRC), teacher turnover is based upon employed March 2010 ‘classroom
teachers’ and their employment status in March 2011. Payroll data is used for the determination.
2.
‘Classroom Teachers’ are determined by Purpose Codes beginning with 51, 52, or 53 AND Object Codes 121,
123, 124, or 128. Purpose and Object Codes are part of the payroll budget code.
3.
Classroom teachers employed in March 2011 are determined using March 2010 payroll and the criteria in step
#2.
4.
Once the roster from step #3 is determined, the SSN’s of the classroom teachers are queried against all certified
employee budget codes in March 2011 payroll data. If the SSN is not found to be employed in the same LEA in
March 2011 as they were in March 2010, they are classified as turnover at the LEA level.
5.
A couple of the reasons why the system level turnover rate could be higher than the State average turnover rate:
In the change of tying the LEA turnover report sent from the LEAs to the State Report Card
turnover, more LEAs reviewed the rosters of teacher turnover.
Those on approved leave were excluded from turnover.
