Tracking Turnover & Retention

Tracking turnover and retention can support districts and schools in identifying trends and be strategic in approaches for managing retention and turnover. Understanding who is staying and leaving districts and schools can help determine the reasons staff stay and leave. This will support districts in designing policy to mitigate harmful staff turnover and improve retention. A systematic approach to addressing turnover and retention involves monitoring, diagnosing, and addressing turnover and retention concerns.
