Abstract

Clerical staff in the campus office (i.e., secretaries, attendance clerks, registrars) perform critical functions essential to school operations, yet receive little research attention regarding their contributions. This study determines and describes turnover rates of K-12 campus clerical employees in order to establish base information in the field. Eight years of employment data within a suburban school district in Texas are examined in addition to reasons for turnover and the cost of clerical turnover per year.
