A study that is available full text on the internet in .pdf format that
requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to enable viewing has been
published that studies teacher turnover and career change in terms of its
economic cost to the taxpayers and government.

The study has been provided by the Association for Supervision and
Curriculum Development (ASCD).  A summary of the report may be found on

The Question
What does it cost school districts to replace teachers leaving the
profession?

The Bottom Line
The cost to education systems of teachers leaving the profession amount to
approximately 20 percent of each leaving teacher's salary. The application
of industry models in estimating such costs may be a useful strategy for
schools and districts examining teacher turnover issues.
