SYSTEM LEVEL
TEACHER TURNOVER REPORT
2005-2006
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 2005-2006 school year
asked LEAs to report the total number of teachers employed in the system between July 1,
2005 and June 30, 2006, 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.
Survey Instruments Used
Copies of the survey used and clarifying examples are contained in Appendix A. 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 12,730 teachers of the 101,229 teachers employed
during the 2005-2006 school year left their systems for an aggregated system level turnover
rate of 12.58%. This represents a slight decrease in the aggregated system level turnover rate
(12.95%) reported for the 2004-05 school year. This figure includes Visiting International
Faculty (VIF) who are required to return to their home countries after three years. The
aggregated system level turnover rate excluding VIF teachers is 12.32%.
Of the 12,730 teachers reported leaving, 3917 (30.77%) had tenure. During the 2004-05 school
year 29% of the teachers who left had tenure, during the 2003-04 school year, 31.5% of the
teachers who left teaching had tenure, and during the 2002-03 school year 32.9% of the
teachers who left had tenure.
System-level turnover ranged from a high of 25.79% in Bertie County to a low of 2.21% in
Mitchell County. A listing of turnover by systems is included in Appendix B. Appendix C
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 D summarizes the reasons given for
teachers leaving across the past five years. Appendix E 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.

Analysis of Turnover
The five-year (2001-02 – 2005-06) average aggregated system level teacher turnover reported
by local education agencies is 12.57%. While this rate is slightly greater than the 11% typically
cited for turnover in other professions, it is less than the 15.7% reported in national data for all
teachers in the US, and less than the 17% average turnover reported in recent years for
businesses with 1,000 or more employees. This year, the aggregated system level turnover is
12.58%, down slightly from the 12.95% reported for 2004-05. The chart that follows depicts
teacher turnover relative to teacher retention since the 1998-99 school year.

A closer examination of the data indicates that for four of the last five years, the number one
reason reported by school systems for teacher turnover is “to teach elsewhere,” with 17% - 21%
of the teachers reported to have left for this reason. Of those leaving to teach elsewhere, 7580% left to teach in other NC school systems. Thus, while this turnover represents a loss to the
local system, it does not represent a loss to the state. If those individuals reported by LEAs as
leaving teaching positions to teach in another LEA or a NC charter school are removed from the
turnover counts, the aggregated system level turnover rate is reduced to 10.6%.
A further analysis of turnover was conducted using the categories of Remained/Remaining in
Education, Turnover that Might be Reduced, Turnover Initiated by the LEA, and Turnover
Beyond Control. The category Remained/Remaining in Education included individuals resigning
to teach in another NC LEA or charter school and individuals who moved to non-teaching
positions in education. The category Turnover that Might be Reduced included 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. The
category Turnover Initiated by the LEA included individuals who were non-renewed, dismissed,
5
or resigned in lieu of dismissal. The category Turnover Beyond Control included those
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 figure that follows, approximately 21% of those teachers
reported as leaving remained in education; 6% of the reported turnover was initiated by the
LEA; approximately 42% of the turnover was for reasons beyond control; and 30% of the
reported turnover might be reduced. This latter category, turnover that might be reduced,
represents just over 3,900 teachers.

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. Comparatively, teachers expressed the highest degree of satisfaction
with facilities and resources, with more than 80% responding that teachers and staff work in a
school environment that is safe. They expressed the least satisfaction with the time. Less than
half (47%) of the more than 75,000 individuals responding to the survey indicated that teachers
are protected from duties that interfere with their essential role of education students and that
the non-instructional time provided for teachers in their school is sufficient.
