✚ Data not available
! Estimates not applicable for this category or year
1 Estimates include observations with missing values on race and ethnicity question
2 Rates represent the proportion of teachers in a given year who did not appear in this sector's dataset in all subsequent years
General notes: Some of the estimates in this table may apply to very small samples of observations, such as those for certain race and ethnicity categories (e.g.,
American Indians); interpret with caution. Information on data sources, samples, and other issues in the Data Appendix. Details on all measures, including the
identification of new hires and sector leavers, can be found in About the City Profiles. Relative frequencies may not add up to 100 due to rounding error.
