The numbers I can find indicate that, depending on the state, around 3-5% of "tenured" teachers are fired every year.
I hate to ask for links, but -- got a link for that? I'm hearing anecdotally that inner city schools have an almost 0% firing rate. Perhaps the suburban and rural areas make up for that.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see that data. Would be handy to study a bit.
- _delirium 16y agoHere's one source of data: http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/tables/sass0708_2009320_d1s_08.asp http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/tables/sass0708_2009320_d1s_... One thing it's missing is what proportion of teachers in each state are tenured--- it gives a total number of teachers, total "dismissed ... or did not have their contracts renewed based on poor performance", and then breaks down the dismissed numbers by tenured/untenured, but doesn't break the total number down by tenured/untenured. That information might be available elsewhere though.
