High turnover among principals | Homeroom


High turnover among principals Homeroom:

"University of Texas researchers have found that about 70 percent of new public high school principals in Texas leave their jobs within the first five years.

Only about half of new principals stay on the job at least three years, College of Education researchers found. And principals in high-poverty schools are leaving the soonest.

Ed Fuller and Michelle Young, both part of the University Council for Educational Administration, studied principal tenure from 1996 to 2008, university officials said in an announcement Monday."
