A significant loss of teachers has occurred in Texas. Between 2020 and 2025, the state lost a substantial number of educators. The total number of teachers lost is reported to be 35,000.

This figure represents the number of teachers who would have remained in the classroom if the state's pre-pandemic turnover rates had been maintained. Further information on this topic is available from the Dallas Observer, which has examined the impact of teacher turnover on American classrooms.
