Pros
The IT systems are well run. Lots of easy to use software and easy access to needed items.
Cons
Special Education does not have enough help. The student's education suffers due to lack of adequate staffing. Support staff for Special Education is unresponsive when contacted for assistance. One Special Education Coordinator even claimed during her speech during our beginning of year meeting that sped teachers like to give up our lunches and planning periods. She claimed we are all so "giving" that we like this! The truth is Special Ed Teachers in AISD are forced to give up our planning time and lunches to meet student needs because of understaffing. We are taken advantage of and not given the time law requires for lunch and planning. It is not funny or giving the district is taking advantage of sped teachers and students.
