LDOE cites principal retention gaps in first five years of service
Summary
The LDOE briefing highlights retention shortfalls among principals—about 60% retention for first‑year principals, 75% for years 2–5, and about 85% for principals with more than five years—framing the retention challenge as a driver for expanded supports.
Presenter (S1) flagged retention as a central concern in the principal pipeline. "Louisiana currently retains only about 85% of principals with more than 5 years of experience, about 60% of 1st year principals, and 75% of principals in years 2 to 5," S1 said, using those rates to frame the need for targeted supports.
The briefing positions pre‑career and early‑career development as drivers of later success and points to cohort models and mentor supports as responses to the retention challenge. The transcript does not list dollar amounts, target participant counts, or timelines for implementation; those details are not specified in the video.
