Pros

Great professional development opportunities, and some very talented teachers, administrators and staff.

Cons

Lots of changing initiatives and priorities. The district does a lot on its own- in terms of developing curriculum, etc. This can be good but also inefficient and sometimes results in an inferior product/process.

Pros

Great benefits for individuals and family, loved the school where I worked, and the principal was very supportive. District allows sick and personal leave that is reasonable.

Cons

Mandates being passed down from the state level, so much pressure placed on teachers, standardized tests and all the amount of testing required of teachers, and the continuous cycle of introducing new programs and systems that teachers are expected to learn and apply immediately.

Pros

In the administrative side of education, the hours are typical of other employers downtown. There is a lot of flexibility in schedules. Bottom line is getting the job done required to expected within the expected time frame given. We are here to support the kids and the personnel working at all the schools.

Cons

Working downtown can be a pain with all the construction happening. Parking can be an issue sometimes. It would be great if 'telecommute' was allowed when it is applicable.
