The report's landscape analysis describes CalSAAS, created by Assembly Bill 1219 in 2019 for annual monitoring of certificated educator assignments, and identifies the exclusion of turnover and retention data as a gap. The future C2C Teacher Training and Retention Dashboard is delayed with no launch date set.
"However, they exclude key data needed for workforce planning, including teacher turnover and retention data, because those data are not captured in the data-sharing agreement."
