1. Competitive Compensation for Educators
. About 30% of our most experienced
educators will be eligible to retire In the
next two years.
. In 2003, 90 of the 140 (60%) teachers
who left were in their first three years of
employment.

and retain the best teachers and
administrators.

We are Losing Ground
· The median of the market is now the
wrong target.
· Charlottesville and Fluvanna pay their
teachers more.
· Salary is the top reason our teachers leave.
· Albemarle hires at least twice as many
teachers as Charlottesville and Fluvanna
combined.
