However, this study by the Jacksonville Public Education Fund found that atthe school level, teacher retention rates are closer to 75%, driven largely by transfers within the district. Each teacher that permanently leaves DCPS costs the district about $11,000 in hiring and training to replace, and for the 2018-19 Academic Year, the cost of all teacher turnover was approximately $12 million.2 This is equivalent to nearly two percent  \n(1 . 65%) of the DCPS budget for instruction during that fiscal year.3  \nBeyond financial costs, teacher attrition can create inequities for students most in need of support and exacerbate gaps in opportunity these students already experience. Study findings indicate that teacher attrition does not affect all Duval schools equally. Schools serving larger proportions of students from low-income backgrounds and students of color are more likely to experience teacher turnover. Further, schools with lower school grades according tothe state’s accountability system tended to have less experienced teaching staff compared to schools with higher grades. Additionally, the teacher workforce in Duval County Public Schools is less diverse than the student body.  \n1  \nMETHODOLOGY  \nThe research study was designed to determine why teachers in Duval County Public Schools were leaving the district and the profession. Specifically, this study examined the impact that (1) teacher experience and preparation,(2) school leadership,(3) student demographics and performance, and (4) school climate and culture have on teacher recruitment and retention. The data set only included data from traditional public schools.  \nRegression analyses were conducted to understand the relationships between variables for each of the four areas described above, and all statistically significant variables resulting from each analysis were combined into one statistical model. While the final model tested the teacher retention rate for each Duval County school, several of the analyses used length of teacher employment in Duval asthe independent variable and a proxy for teacher quality, under the assumption that teacher quality improves with time.  \nThe final statistical model for teacher retention in Duval County indicated that more years of teacher experience,  \nhigher levels of school commitment and higher levels of parent influence on school decision-making tended to increase teacher retention for schools.4 The school commitment measure reflects teachers’ responses to a question about how committed they are to their particular school on the 5Essentials Survey, a University of Chicago climate and culture survey.5  \nConversely, principal changes and higher proportions of low-income students tended to increase teacher attrition for schools.6 Whether a school experienced a principal change was nearly five times more influential than anyother significant factor.  \nIn addition to identifying the factors most relevant to teacher retention and tenure in Duval County Public Schools, this study explored each of the variables included in the regression analyses. This provided context for statistical interpretation, as well as revealed additional trends related to principal, teacher and student demographics and performance.
