S333 - Teacher Transition Data (SL 2015-126)

Overview: S.L. 2015-126 amends the annual State Board of Education (SBE) report on the teaching profession to include data on the following:

• The number of teachers who left the profession without remaining in the field of education and the reasons for not remaining in the profession.
• The number of teachers who left the teaching profession to teach in other states.
• The number of teachers who left their employment to work in another school in North Carolina, including nonpublic and charter schools.
• The number of teachers who left a classroom position for another type of educational position.
• The number of teachers who left employment in hard-to-staff schools.
• The number of teachers who left employment in hard-to-staff subject areas either identified by the United States Department of Education, or in a subject area resulting in a long-term vacancy of 16 months or more at a particular school in a local school administrative unit.

The report must disaggregate the above data based on teacher effectiveness at a statewide level.

This act became effective June 29, 2015, and applies beginning with the annual report compiled in 2017 using data from the 2016-2017 school year. Beginning in 2016, the annual report will be titled "State of the Teaching Profession in North Carolina."
