Pros

large number of schools, so you are almost assured a job

Cons

the LOW pay as compared to the surrounding school districts - $3,000 to $4,000 less! Also, no suspension of students in the primary grades! So, we are stuck putting up with highly disruptive students. Administration doesn't do anything with them, but teachers are left to deal with them.

Pros

Pays more than most districts. There is possibility of growth or movement every year.

Cons

Too many changes at times. When you have a good administration, they are shipped to other schools to help, but your school has to rest and start over with a leadership.
