What Does One Do to Get Fired around Here? An Analysis of Teacher Dismissals in Georgia
Saultz, Andrew
American Enterprise Institute
The purpose of this report is to explore teacher dismissal practices in Georgia. The report analyzes data in the Fulton County School System from 2012 to 2017, the DeKalb county School District from 2011 to 2016, and the Atlanta Public Schools from 2011 to 2013. The goal of this report was to understand: (1) what teacher dismissal practices in Georgia look like; (2) who was dismissed from these districts; (3) why they were dismissed; and (4) what patterns exist across and within districts--with a specific focus on dismissals related to teacher quality. The hope is that the report will be used to inform teacher policy in the future and encourage further work analyzing teacher dismissals in other contexts.
