“…When interpreted with findings from past studies, there are several important implications of this study for educational managers at the school district level. First, past study findings have considered salary as one of the key underlying factors for principal retention (Tran, 2017; Tran and Buckman, 2017). Tran (2017) found that California high school principals’ degree of satisfaction with pay was negatively related to their desires to leave their jobs.…”

“…other high school principals in different school districts). Similarly, Tran and Buckman (2017) examined the relationship between high school principals’ movement and salaries in Wisconsin with three years of data. They found that principals who moved to leadership positions in other districts earned higher salaries than those who did not move.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the costs of replacing high school principals. The technique for cost estimation used is the ‘ingredients method’ and is based on the economic principle of opportunity cost. It is the recommended form of cost analysis by experts in the field. Within this study, the ingredients method systematically identifies all the resources required to replace high school principals, and attaches prices to each of those ingredients. The systematic nature of the method allows for costs to be measured and compared across studies. Data were obtained from executive-level human resource management across six South Carolina public school districts. Costs of high school replacement varied by district (ranging from $10,413.03 to $51,659.27), with the sample average equating to $23,974.29. The methodology used in this study can be replicated across the globe to estimate the cost of replacing school leaders.

“…Switching to a retention measure, the same authors found that the likelihood that a principal had left a public school after 5 years also was lower in Minnesota (OR = 0.99) and Wisconsin (OR = 0.988) in schools with higher performance. Finally, Tran and Buckman (2017) found that among a small sample of Wisconsin principals, principals' interdistrict moves were related to lower reading scores (b = −0.11).…”

“…Finally, a more recent study of 109 elementary school principals in Wisconsin found that higher salaries helped explain principals' interdistrict (but not intradistrict) moves. Specifically, Tran and Buckman (2017) found that moving to a new district was associated with a salary increase of $3187.42.…”

“…Tekleselassie and Villarreal (2010) found that principals who had more experience were somewhat less likely to intend to change schools (OR = 0.99); however, experience was not a significant predictor of principals’ intentions to leave the principalship (Tekleselassie & Villarreal, 2010). Also using dichotomous measures, Tran and Buckman (2017) found that among principals in Wisconsin, high school principals with more experience were less likely to change schools ( b = −0.27). In a study of three Midwestern states (Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Podgursky et al (2016) found that more experienced principals were slightly less likely to make intrastate changes in all three states on an annual basis (Iowa [OR = 0.979], Minnesota [OR = 0.967], Wisconsin [OR = 0.954]) and after 5 years (Iowa [OR = 0.962], Minnesota [OR = 0.959], Wisconsin [OR = 0.96]).…”

Among the many challenges facing public schools are high levels of principal turnover. Given the important role that principals play and are expected to play in the improvement process, concerns about principal turnover have resulted in a growing body of research on its causes and consequences. The purpose of this review is to take stock of what we have learned about the sources and consequences of principal turnover and to identify what gaps remain. The final review included 36 empirical studies. It discusses and categorizes findings relating to the determinants and consequences of principal turnover. The review concludes with a discussion about the implications of those findings and the areas and kinds of research still needed.
