TEACHER TURNOVER REPORT
2009-2010
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 2009-2010 school year asked LEAs to report the total number of teachers employed in the system
between March 2009 and March 2010, 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 2009-2010
LEA level turnover for the 2010 School Report Card is calculated based on the individuals employed in the LEA as
teachers in March 2009, but not employed in the LEA as teachers in March 20010, 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
2009, but not employed in the LEA as teachers in March 2010, 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 2009-2010. 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 11,012 teachers of the 99,241 teachers employed during the 2009-2010 school
year left their systems for a system level turnover rate of 11.10%. This represents a decrease in the turnover rate
reported for the 2008-2009 school year (12.72%). This figure includes Visiting International Faculty (VIF) who are
required to return to their home countries after three years. VIF teachers accounted for 185 teachers who left and
removal of this category would reflect a system level turnover rate of 10.93%.
Of the 11,012 teachers reported leaving, 4,022 (36.52%) had tenure. During the 2008-09 school year 35.55% of the
teachers who left had tenure, during the 2007-08 school year, 33.96% of the teachers who left teaching had tenure,
and during the 2006-07 school year 32.58% of the teachers who left had tenure.
Turnover rates ranged from a high of 31.82% in Halifax County to a low of 1.89% in Tyrell 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.

Reasons for Leaving
The table that follows details the reasons for teachers leaving as reported by their school systems. They are ranked
in descending order. Appendix E summarizes the reasons given for teachers leaving across the past five years.
Appendix F provides an analysis of turnover using the categories: Remained/Remaining in Education, Turnover
that Might be Reduced, Turnover Initiated by the LEA, and Turnover Beyond Control.
Teacher Turnover and Teacher Working Conditions
Appendix G provides information that relates to the Teacher Working Conditions for the ten (10) LEAs with the
highest percentage of teacher turnover compared to the ten (10) LEAs with the lowest percentage of teacher
turnover.

Analysis of Turnover
(System Level)
The chart that follows depicts teacher turnover relative to teacher retention since the 1999-2000 school year.
 This year, 2009-2010, the system level turnover is 11.10% which is down from the 12.72% reported for 2008-2009.
 The top five reasons for teachers leaving for 2009-10 are as follows:
1. Retired
Reasons
2. To teach elsewhere*
3. Family Relocation
4. Interim contract ended – not rehired
5. Other/Unknown
 The national teacher turnover rate is 16.8%. (National Commission on Teaching and America‘s Future, 2007)
*While this reason indicates a loss to the local system, it does not represent a loss to the State.
6
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, 19% of those teachers reported as leaving remained in education; 15% of the
reported turnover was initiated by the LEA; 47% of the turnover was for reasons beyond control; and 19% 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.

Teacher Turnover Report and the State Report Card

How Teacher Turnover Is Determined for the State Report Card
1.
For the 2010 State Report Card (SRC), teacher turnover is based upon employed March 2009 ‗classroom
teachers‘ and their employment status in March 2010. 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 2009 are determined using March 2009 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 2010 payroll data. If the SSN is not found to be employed in the same LEA in
March 2010 as they were in March 2009, 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.
