“On average, Oklahoma’s most at-risk students are taught by teachers who are the least attached to their schools. When a teacher is retained, students are likely better off because they would have been taught by a less experienced replacement. Addressing this disparity and its implied inequity ought to be a top priority for policy makers.”
