Pros

The people I work with are all doing their best with limited resources and a changing environment. I'm very happy with the culture in my office and you can't beat the time off.

Cons

The leadership decisions are not steady but a lot of that is because of how the school district is funded. Makes it hard to be consistent year to year.
