Teacher attrition is squarely in the policy spotlight. Major news outlets have featured recent stories highlighting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on teacher shortages. In this brief, the authors frame the magnitude of teacher attrition during the pandemic, including from the 2020-2021 school year to the 2021-22 school year, using publicly available data on the public teaching workforce in Washington. Specifically, the authors compare attrition rates during the pandemic to attrition during pre-pandemic years, spanning the 1984-1985 school year to the 2018-2019 school year. They also report the relationship between attrition rates and district vacancies and compare changes in teacher turnover rates to differences in these rates between different kinds of schools.
