“…Turnover contributes to inequities in the distribution of effective teachers across schools as teachers move from low-to high-resource schools (Clotfelter, Ladd, & Vigdor, 2006;Feng & Sass, 2017;Lankford, Loeb, & Wyckoff, 2002;Mason-Williams, 2015;Mason-Williams & Gagnon, 2017), and creates a financial burden for schools and districts who must recruit new teachers to fill vacant positions (Milanowski & Odden, 2007).
