! Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 percent and 50 percent (i.e., the standard error is at least 30 percent and less than 50 percent of the estimate).
‡ Reporting standards not met. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 50 percent or greater (i.e., the standard error is 50 percent or more of the estimate).
¹ Base year refers to 2011-12.
² Certification categories refer to in-state requirements only.
NOTE: "Stayers are teachers who were teaching in the same school in the current school year as in the base year. "Movers" are teachers who were still teaching in the current school year, but had moved to a different school after the base year. "Leavers" are teachers who left the teaching profession after the base year. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some data are not shown.
