AI Summary
This bill requires each school board to report annually to the Department of Education the number and type of exits for teachers, other instructional personnel (which refers to individuals involved in teaching or directly supporting the educational process), and support staff positions, specifically breaking down this data by the race of the individual who left the position. Additionally, for every exit that occurs during the reporting year, the reason for leaving, including whether it was voluntary or involuntary, must be collected and reported. This aims to provide more detailed insights into staff turnover within school divisions, building upon existing requirements for reporting vacancies and data on individuals completing education preparation programs.
