The Great Resignation is hitting the Poudre School District hard. The Coloradoan reports nearly 100 teachers, counselors, and mental health specialists have resigned between January and May of this year and another 39 retired. Resignations are 111% from 2018. According to a survey by the National Education Association, burnout and poor working conditions are just some of the reasons educators are resigning nationwide. To try to stave off departures, PSD has offered educators a 6% pay raises, higher starting salaries for new teachers, and increased time off. Despite the resignations, district officials said they’re not worried about starting off the school year fully staffed. For the full story, visit https://www.coloradoan.com/
