Pros
AISD has the highest pay in the area save a few charter schools, and they offer high incentives for Special Education teachers.
Cons
The district continues to go through too many changes. My personal examples include getting my school new copiers that sat there for the full school year due to needing different electrical plugs for the wall outlets. In addition, the district left our elevator unworking for over seven months for students and faculty who needed it. The district made no efforts to repair it during the summer. The district had a key part in dismantling our current faculty and then leaving us out to dry by not on-boarding new teachers in time for them to accept the jobs. Our principals changed each year after that. The district doesn't offer enough lead time into the year in order to prepare. Our students had no appropriate scheduling for the first several months from the school year because no proper scheduling was completed over the summer. The district struggles to appropriately support lower income schools for the real effort needed to improve these kids' scores: extra support personnel to aid in teaching or enough personnel to legally carry out IEPs.
