2004年，芝加哥公立学校和芝加哥教师工会签署了一项新的集体谈判协议，该协议赋予校长以任何理由解雇试用教师（经验不足5年的教师）的灵活性，并且无需进行许多城市地区常见的听证程序。结果表明，该政策将教师每年缺勤率减少了大约 10%，并将频繁缺勤率减少了 25%。大部分影响是由于该学区教师构成的变化，尽管有证据表明对年轻的非终身教师的激励作用不大。
In 2004, the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union signed a new collective bargaining agreement that gave principals the flexibility to dismiss probationary teachers (those with fewer than 5 years of experience) for any reason and without the hearing process typical in many urban districts. Results suggest that the policy reduced annual teacher absences by roughly 10% and reduced the incidence of frequent absences by 25%. The majority of the effect was due to changes in the composition of teachers in the district, although there is evidence of modest incentive effects for young untenured teachers.
