Pros
I meant to write this with more positive spin, but I can’t actually think of anything central office does that makes my life easier. There’s a strong union, but that’s more in response to the lack of support from the district
Cons
I don’t control the AC or heating in my classroom, and and it often doesn’t work. Pay wise, AISD is not good at working the (insane) TEA and TIA funding shenanigans. TIA is unavailable to me, purely because I don’t teach a STAAR tested subject. Oh, I’m using a student Chromebook as my work laptop, because they have refused to give me an actual laptop since the previous one I have broke. And it took 4 months for them to even acknowledge that my old laptop broke, despite me incessantly messaging IT. This is all just a sampler. I appreciate that they are trying to be better, but when I right it all out, it’s a bit of a wonder I still work at this district
