Principal Attrition and Mobility: Results From the 2008-09 Principal Follow-up Survey (NCES 2010-337)

The Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS) is a component of the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), and was administered in the 2008-09 school year in order to provide attrition rates for principals in K-12 public, private, and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools. The goal was to assess how many principals in the 2007-08 school year still worked as a principal in the same school in the 2008-09 school year, how many had moved to become a principal in another school, and how many had left the principalship.
