Over the next 10 years our communities will need: Qualified pre-K through 12 Administrators – “Some counties estimate that 70% of their school administrators will retire in

the next 10 years (1,009 in LA County alone*)”

Community college administrators – “Roughly three-quarters of community college presidents surveyed in 2012 indicated that they plan to retire within the next 10 years.“
