Alaska Educators Leaving Jobs at Higher Rate Post-Pandemic

New data reveals a surge in educators leaving Alaskas schools since the COVID-19 pandemic, with principals and teachers both experiencing a significant increase in departures. While the pandemic initially saw a dip in resignations, the trend has since steadily risen since 2013. The data also shows a similar trend for those leaving their districts, with principals jumping from 19% in 2020 to 35% in 2024, and teachers rising from 22% to 28% over the same period. The situation mirrors the national teacher shortage crisis, and a new survey is being sent to gather teacher feedback to understand the reasons behind this exodus. DNN | The Daily News Now!
