Board presentation: 13.15% turnover last year; retirements account for part of the rate
Summary
Committee received a year-end turnover report showing a 13.15% turnover rate for the past school year and an adjusted 11.18% when retirements are excluded; exit data showed 'seeking growth and advancement' as the top reason.
Presenters told the Personnel Committee that overall staff turnover for the last school year was 13.15% and that, when retirements are removed, the rate is about 11.18%. A presenter said the district's goal remains to get below 10% turnover.
"So 13%, yes, was our turnover, but 11% is probably more of a fair number of where our turnover is," one presenter said, noting that retirements materially affect the calculation. Dan West summarized exit-survey reasons and said seeking growth and advancement was the most commonly selected primary reason; when those who disclosed their next job were examined, 42% of those citing growth moved laterally, 31% took promotions and 27% left public education.
Board members asked whether head-count changes affect percentages; presenters said the turnover calculation accounts for FTE differences across fiscal years. The committee received the report for information; no personnel actions or policy changes were proposed at the meeting.
