요약(1) Chapter 1 - This paper provides evidence that student behavior issues contribute to teacher turnover among U.S. middle school teachers. Using detailed administrative data on student behavior, discipline, and teacher movement in North Carolina middle schools, I show that when teachers experience an increase in reported disciplinary offenses at their school-or among the students in the grade they teach-they are more likely to leave the school or the profession. Among first-year teachers, these effects are largest for more effective teachers. I measure student behavior using only offenses that require mandatory reporting to the state, suggesting that differential reporting by teachers or schools is not driving the results. Further, I compare teachers to others at their school using school and school-by-year fixed effects models, suggesting that school-level changes in student composition are not driving the results. I also show that a more punitive disciplinary response to student offenses does not lead to higher teacher turnover for most teachers. These findings suggest that schools and teacher preparation programs should focus on strategies to help teachers manage student behavior issues.(2) Chapter 2 - This paper provides evidence on the effect of local prescription opioid use on academic achievement of 3rd-8th graders between 2009 and 2018. Using county fixed effects models, I find that when counties have higher levels of prescription opioid use, students score lower on standardized assessments two to three years later, with variation by student subgroups and magnitudes comparable to effective interventions. I find the largest magnitudes in counties with higher poverty rates and states with below-median state education spending. As test score effects predict adult outcomes, these findings point to economic and public health challenges when affected children become adults.(3) Chapter 3 - This paper examines the effect of voter-approved school funding increases on district expenditures and student outcomes in Colorado. Taking advantage of the staggered timing of funding measure elections across districts, I use an event study design to compare changes in outcomes among districts that passed funding measures to those that did not. I find that districts passing measures to increase operational spending saw an initial increase in local revenues of around $1, 000 per pupil. However, this increase was offset within 4-5 years by corresponding decreases in state funding. While operational spending measures did not substantially increase overall revenues, they did lead districts to shift expenditures toward instructional and administrative salaries. Despite this reallocation, I find no evidence that operational funding increases improved graduation rates or scores on 3rd-8th grade Math and ELA assessments. For capital funding increases through bond measures, I find districts temporarily increased construction spending but no corresponding improvements in graduation rates. The results suggest Colorado's school finance system limited districts' ability to substantially increase operational spending through local elections during my sample period.
