This year, California has had many school superintendents leave their jobs. Five former and current school district leaders talk about why their decisions.
The number of California school superintendents leaving their jobs is climbing, despite increased salaries and benefits. Some have reached retirement age or are moving to less stressful jobs. Some are being pushed out by newly elected school board majorities. A new crop of less experienced district leaders is taking their place.
California superintendents have left their jobs in large numbers in recent years, but turnover appears to be particularly high this year. They are being replaced with a new group of less experienced school district leaders.
