This study investigates school principal’s turnover in the city of Rio de Janeiro from 2006 to 2012, a period that includes the years before and after the implementation of school accountability policies by the Municipal Education Department. The goal of the study was to investigate the contextual factors related to school principal’s turnover rates at public primary schools, due to a growth of pressures over school principal’s position, because of changes in the requirements to become a principal and the implementation of school accountability policies. The results suggest that the principal’s experience, the percentage of pupils with age/grade gap in schools, and student performance are associated with the likelihood of principals’ re-elections, especially at mandates that began in the period after the implementation of school accountability policies.

Keywords : Principal´s turnover; School accountability; Educational evaluation; School principal´s selection.
