Pros

- Caring team and mission-driven to support schools. - Great spaces to continue growing in your skills as a facilitator and creator of professional development. - Direct management and supervision showed interest in supporting growth and caring.

Cons

- Unstability due to funding and budget crisis. It is more systemic; this district suffers from recapture, and the remaining funds are insufficient for its needs. - You are under constant stress about losing your job due to funding.

Pros

1. I liked my principal and I got to do a lot of groups. 2. The district counseling staff in 2020-21 gave us very good professional learning.

Cons

The caseload was really high and the needs are too high to sustain. Suicide attempts, drug use and sexual harassment were happening on a weekly basis. My friends at other schools had to focus on testing and so I worry about the kids.
