Fewer Texas teachers say they're considering leaving the classroom, according to recent polling from the Charles Butt Foundation; however, two out of every three reported they were still thinking about changing careers. That figure is down year-over-year, with three out of four teachers considering it last year, according to the poll. The most recent data is the lowest reported figure since 2020. "That is still a high percentage of teachers seriously considering leaving the classroom," Kendra Montejos Edwards, one of the poll's researchers, said. "It is a little over ten percentage points lower than what it was last year. So, to us, that's a little bit of hopeful data-like that teachers are not leaving at the same rate as they were in previous years."
