Superintendent Jara wanted us to believe CCSD's low proficiency rates were the community’s problem for declining expectations, lack of involvement, and years of neglect.
Guess who didn’t believe that...
5/?
Before Supt Jara claimed CCSD was going in the wrong direction for years,
Candidate for Superintendent, Jesus Jara, praised the direction CCSD was going & claimed he would “Accelerate the Momentum”
Candidate Jesus Jara would be so disappointed in Superintendent Jesus Jara

We’re not the only ones who have noticed Jara’s troubled relationship with the truth.
The Governor has called Jara out for misleading the community.
7/?
The RJ called for Jara to be fired because they didn’t believe he was accurate when he said he had a “real clear focus on being No. 1 district for kids.”
8/?
Henderson City Councilman Dan Shaw, lambasted CCSD leadership because the City Council couldn’t get answers from Jara’s CCSD.
9/?
North Las Vegas Mayor, John Lee called out Jara’s CCSD for not following state law.
10/?
Jara has a long history in Vegas of having a troubled relationship with the truth and failing to build trust & confidence with vital partners.

Despite Jara’s troubled past, we were still SHOCKED to see in the LV Sun that he allegedly claimed:
“….CCSD was seeing normal, not accelerated, attrition this year.”
So, let's look at the FACTS...
12/?
CCSD puts out monthly staffing counts.
This is aggregated data THEY put out.
13/?
CCSD aggregated & reported this data, we just put it in a chart
The drop in licensed staffing counts is happening WHILE CCSD is also hiring people!
Many more are leaving than what is represented in this line.
Last year was the TOP LINE!
This year is the BOTTOM LINE! #WTF
14/?
Every regular Board Meeting CCSD posts a report of all the teaching/licensed staff that leave CCSD.
We’ve downloaded that report from EVERY Board Meeting for the last decade.
This is data THEY put out.
15/?
This chart shows how the names in those reports (prior tweet) add up from August through July
This school year, the one Jara allegedly claims does NOT have accelerated teacher attrition, is in red #WTF
School years 2011-12 through 2020-21 are in grey
16/?
We’ve heard Jara apologists say this data (which is their data) is biased.
Not sure what they mean.
Perhaps they think we cherry-picked the time period???
Let’s try looking at the data in a different way...
17/?
Instead of us picking a time period, here's a rolling time period
Each point shows the # of separation announcements from that month + the 11 that preceded it
It's a rolling 12-month sum. No bias. Just transparency.
18/?
If you’re a teacher,
& you see this crazy teacher attrition data,
& your Supt says teacher attrition is normal & not accelerated
Read the whole thread to find out who knew what when. #CCSD#NVed

2/?
This is what the cumulative teacher/licensed staff separations look like in a typical year for CCSD.
They slowly accumulate August through March and then accelerate April through July when staff start to say they’re not coming back next year. #AverageAttrition
3/?
Last year CCSD saw the lowest teacher separations through February of any school year in the last decade.
After the vaccine came out separations accelerated, and separations ended the year above average.
From Aug. through Jan. there have been 67% more licensed/teaching staff separations than a typical year over the same time period.
Almost 300 more than the next highest year!
3/?
There is a MUCH BIGGER difference between licensed staff quitting this year and the next highest year than between the next highest year and the lowest year over the last decade!
There is an unprecedented exit of teachers from CCSD this year!
