What is the data on teacher, principal, and other faculty turnover?

BCSC has seen a normal amount of turnover this year, but here is some data you might find interesting:
- 10 teachers and administrators were hired to replace the 20 that retired
- 15 additional teachers have been hired, in order to reduce class sizes as recommended by the EnVision Commision.

BCSC has almost 460 teachers, many of them young due to the growth that has precipitated hiring new teachers. By nature, younger employees are a very mobile group. This year:
- 6 teachers transitioned to positions outside of education or moved out of state
- 9 teachers made moves up the career ladder to administration, coaching or counseling positions in other districts
- 9 teachers resigned for reasons such as a spouse job relocation, or to stay at home with children, and one is writing a book
- 4 teaching positions were internal transfers to secondary department head positions
- there are also several temporary teaching positions due to maternity or medical leaves

Of the principal changes:
-1 retired (Cardinal/Delaware Trail)
-1 resigned (Reagan)
-2 moved to Central Office positions vacated by a transfer and a retirement (Brown and White Lick)
