Teaching has become more difficult during the past few years. This difficulty has led to several problems, which include teacher shortages. Teachers have always faced issues. However, there has been a new issue in recent years. The coronavirus pandemic created unprecedented times and situations for both schools and teachers. The problem that was addressed by the current study was that high teacher attrition is a significant and growing issue. School districts have been affected by this problem because of teacher shortages and teacher attrition. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the perceptions of new and veteran teachers about teacher attrition and identify contributing factors of teacher attrition and consequently identify ways to reduce teacher shortages. The theoretical framework for this study consisted of two theories: the human capital theory and social capital theory. These theories guided the study because they connect the value of the employees to the school system and connections amongst people. This study used a qualitative case study design. The researchers collected their own data. This was done through observation, documentation, or direct interviews with participants. The population used in the research was from public school teachers. The sample teachers were a mix of new teachers (1-3 years of experience) and veteran teachers (greater than three years teaching experience) from a school in the southeast United States. These teachers were from a variety of content areas. The following research questions guided the study: RQ1-What do new and veteran teachers perceive as the causes of teacher attrition? RQ2-What are the perceptions of new and veteran teachers concerning teaching conditions and its influence on teacher attrition? RQ3-What do new and veteran teachers perceive as ways to reduce teacher attrition? The following themes emerged from the analysis: teachers Do Not Get Paid Enough, teachers have too many duties, the school climate affects the attitudes of teachers, teachers should receive compensation for extra duties, and create a better school climate that is filled with support for the teachers. The implications of the study show that teachers can provide reasons for teacher shortages and ways to prevent teacher shortages, there are several issues that contribute to teacher attrition and some suggestions to prevent teacher shortages. The recommendations are to provide a better way to retain teachers, provide incentives, and improve the school climate. Future research is recommended to include future projects on the most effective incentives for extra duties, increase in teacher pay to be more competitive with other professions, support from administration, and improvement in school climate.
