DATE: October 19, 2016

OVERVIEW:

The Hiring and Departure Analysis is an annual report completed by the Department of Human Resources. The report provides data regarding hiring and retention of employees and assists with planning for staffing each school year. As in prior years,

the report details the education and experience levels for newly hired teachers, as well as other hiring information.

We have included historical data for the acceptance rate for Carroll County Public Schools’ teaching positions and Carroll County Public Schools’ teacher attrition as

compared to the national average. The turnover rate for professional employees leaving Carroll County Public Schools in 2015-2016 is 9.22% including retirements,

resignations, and leaves of absence. The turnover rate for professional staff last year was 10.51%. The turnover rate for classified employees leaving Carroll County Public Schools in 2015-2016 is 11.02%. These rates of turnover compare favorably with other

Boards of Education in Maryland.

Teacher Attrition & National Average

CCPS Attrition Rate

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

CCPS 6.53% 7.94% 9.13% 11.25% 9.41%

National Average 15% 15% 16.80% 20% 20%

The national teacher attrition rate for 2015 will rise to 20 percent. Among public school teachers with 1–3 years of

experience, 80 percent stayed in their base-year school, 13 percent moved to another school, and 7 percent left

teaching in 2012–13. About 8 percent of public school teachers who left teaching in 2012–13 were working in an

occupation outside the field of education, including military service. About 51 percent of public school teachers

who left teaching in 2012–13 reported that the manageability of their work load was better in their current position

than in teaching. Additionally, 53 percent of public school leavers reported that their general work conditions were

better in their current position than in teaching.
