Alliance report featured in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser article “Fewer educators leave isle schools”

Widespread angst over sweeping education reforms led to speculation that the state might see an exodus of public school teachers this year due to burnout and poor morale, conditions made worse by pay levels that lag behind their mainland counterparts. A new report out this month by the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group Alliance for Excellent Education raises doubts about the ability of states to meet higher academic standards given the revolving door of teachers. "The high annual turnover rates seriously compromise the nation's capacity to ensure that all students have access to skilled teaching," the report's author wrote.
