The federal government would collect more detailed information about teachers and school principals, including data on their backgrounds, qualifications, working conditions, and reasons they leave the profession. This expanded data collection would help policymakers and school districts better understand workforce challenges like teacher shortages and identify which schools struggle most to attract and retain experienced educators. The information gathered would be used to inform decisions about education policy and funding at the federal and state levels.
