“The rate at which Wisconsin public school teachers left their districts has declined since its pandemic peak”

Wisconsin Policy Forum:

After peaking in 2023, the rate at which Wisconsin teachers transitioned out of their districts declined statewide but remained elevated. Principal and superintendent turnover has not stabilized, with a new swing upward in 2025. Some districts experience compounding instability, with above-average turnover across educator types. Alongside turnover, workforce diversity increased. Both trends merit tracking as they shape student experience and success.

1. Phew.
2. Pass and fund teacher apprenticeships in Wisconsin.
3. Imagine only 72 human resource departments instead of 421!
4. I truly appreciate Wisconsin Policy Forum for analyzing this. I used to do so myself, and it was a slog.
