District cites pay/step changes and targeted coaching to address turnover at some high schools
Summary
Trustees discussed teacher turnover and recruitment; staff said the district has changed step-placement rules to credit all years of service (intended to improve competitiveness) and plans targeted coaching and incentives to stabilize schools like Orange Glen that showed declines.
Board members raised turnover and staffing pressures at specific high schools, including Orange Glen where test scores showed a recent drop. District staff described a recent change to credit placement that opens step placement to all years of service rather than waiting many years, a move staff said has improved competitiveness in hiring for high-need areas.
The presenter also described targeted coaching, increased professional learning and plans to emphasize support at schools with declines. A staffer noted turnover is multi-causal — placement, environment and curricular fit — and said the district will use targeted incentives and coaching where most needed rather than broad reassignments.
