Is this your company?

Top-heavy school district more interested in positive PR than student learning. - Assistant Principal Highline School District Employee Review

Pros

Some facilities are cutting edge (but not all) and pay is above scale compared to comparable school districts.

Cons

Lot's of administrative turnover. With the turnover comes a revolving door of projects and programs - many are started, few are supported, and almost none are fully implemented. Significant disconnects between district-level administrative units as well as between district and building-level administrators. Significant focus on PR versus actual positive impacts on student learning. There is a significant difference in facilities and levels of support among the different school service areas - choose your school carefully.
