¹Project Learning Tree started in Mississippi in 1987

²Assumes average service life of educators is 10 years and average classroom size is 28. Previously published charts did not reflect the impact of educators retiring after the assumed 10-year career. The chart was corrected in 2004 to show retirements beginning in 1997.

NOTE: This report does not agree with previously published reports due to an error discovered in 1998 and 1999 figures (now corrected).
