RPS always a step behind.

Yeah we need new teachers... but they need current teachers to stop quitting to go to better school districts.

Is there any evidence that RPS has a worse teacher retention problem than other districts? I mean intuitively yeah it makes sense but I’d like to see numbers especially given that the teaching profession is bleeding teachers right now
