HR report: district attrition 14.5% as Lexington 2 focuses on local recruitment
Summary
Human-resources staff reported a 14.5% teacher departure rate for 2024–25 and outlined recruitment and retention efforts including informational sessions and the Lex 2 Grows leadership program to develop internal candidates.
Human-resources staff on Feb. 27 presented the district’s spring report, detailing teacher departures and initiatives to recruit and retain educators.
Director Stephanie Hux reviewed statewide trends and Lexington 2 data: of 667 teachers in the 2024–25 reporting period, the district recorded transfers, retirements and a small number of terminations that together produced an overall departure (attrition) rate of 14.5%. Administrative departures were slightly higher in percentage terms.
Hux emphasized the district’s “grow your own” work to develop local candidates, noting two informational sessions that drew more than 80 community members and that nearly half of attendees were Lexington 2 support staff exploring teaching pathways. She also described Lex 2 Grows, a leadership and professional-growth program launched this semester to deepen instructional and leadership skills among staff.
Board members asked follow-up questions about vacancy reports, MAP/DRA assessment data and next steps; staff said more final MAP data will be distributed and that HR will continue to monitor vacancies and retention metrics.
