Abstract:

North Carolina has a teacher supply problem. Growth in the number of school-age children and requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act contribute to this. McLaughlin discusses recommendations made by the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research to deal with teacher shortages. One recommendation is for the N.C. State Board of Education to require by the 2005-06 school year, Teacher Retention Improvement Plans for all local school systems where turnover exceeds 15 percent.
