Pros

LARGE progressive district trying to do good things. Great intentions. Dedicated, experienced, and over qualified teachers that sacrifice pay for quality of life.

Cons

Can't afford to live in the city we teach in. Salaries are the lowest among urban districts in Texas. 2or 3 side jobs is a normal thing among teachers in the district.
