Doing nothing feels safe—but it’s the costliest decision a school can make.

In this episode of Teachers Deserve It: Real Talk, Rae Hughart breaks down the hidden toll of “waiting until next year” to invest in your teachers, paras, and leadership team. From skyrocketing turnover costs to burnout-driven culture shifts, Rae shares real stories from the field and reveals why delayed action can drain budgets, morale, and student outcomes.

But here’s the good news: fixing it doesn’t take months. You’ll hear how schools are building clear, role-specific PD plans and funding them in weeks, not years. Plus, Rae walks you through how to get your own custom PD roadmap in under 3 minutes—so you can finally stop surviving and start leading with confidence.

If your team is stretched thin and you’ve been telling yourself, “We’ll handle this next year,” this is your sign to act now.
