The Minnesota Principals Survey (MnPS) sought to elevate the voices of principals, assistant principals, and charter school leaders across the state. Developed by researchers at the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) in collaboration with a diverse group of educators and partners, the comprehensive 70-question survey was completed by 779 leaders between November 11 and December 6, 2021. The 34% response rate yielded a fairly representative sample of the school leaders it sought to reach in Minnesota in terms of principals' race, gender, and geographic location. Respondents were fairly new to their roles, with 46% having been in their current role for 2-4 years. Primary factors for pursuing their current position included opportunity for impact, location, and school mission or vision. Interestingly, 63% of respondents expect that they will remain in their current role six years or less with factors such as opportunity for impact, staff culture, and leadership structure strongly influencing their decisions to continue in their current role. Retirement was most frequently reported as respondents' next career step with 32% selecting this option. Only 5% plan to move into a role outside of public education, although 20% were undecided.
