It depends on the subject matter but in my experience, the vast majority of my grade school and high school teachers did not change lectures every year.

If you are teaching high school algebra or geometry or biology or chemistry do you change the lectures every year? Do the facts change every year?

Same with grade school reading, grammar, arithmetic, US history (you might want to add significant events from past year).

I can’t think of a subject that I took in school where the teachers couldn’t use the same lectures year after year.
