The number of teacher retirements for the years 1993-2005 are: 1993 169 2000 260 1994 216 2001 228 1995 180 2002 257 1996 150 2003 231 1997 249 2004 234 1998 N/a 2005 286 1999 N/a The number of teacher resignations for the years 1993-2005 are: 1993 160 2000 284 1994 210 2001 253 1995 175 2002 233 1996 142 2003 174 1997 234 2004 164 1998 n/a 2005 227 1999 n/a It has been discovered that some of the data previously provided for teacher resignations includes records which have been retrospectively adjusted on the payroll system. We reported a termination code which should not have existed for permanent staff. This inflated previous resignation figures.
