Note: refers to a student whose teacher did not receive a reduction-in-force (RIF) notice. “No RIF” “RIF-rescinded” implies the teacher received a RIF-notice, but it was later rescinded. Laid off means the teacher student’s student’s was laid off. For non-self-contained classrooms in middle and high schools, because each student has multiple teachers, I report the average proportion of a teacher that is RIF-rescinded, laid off, or not RIFed. The student’s sample of teachers shown here includes only classroom teachers that report grades for students. The total sample size differs from that reported in other studies based on the same datasets because in that work, we include any employee classified as a teacher who was subject to the RIF process. Enrollment for elementary students as a proportion of total enrollment increases beginning in 2009-10 because in that year it became more common for grade 6 to be housed in elementary schools, rather than middle schools.
