Pros

The salary was good, $62k starting with $1k added each year and additional stipends available;

Cons

Horrible district management and politically chosen administrators who easily give in to the demands of district higher-up's who are totally disconnected from the teaching profession. Nothing is provided for students or teachers, so both must constantly pay for things with their own money. The district treats its teachers like children and uses fear and intimidation tactics as their chosen method to achieve better classroom results. These people turned down or shortened multiple colleagues' maternity leaves; they make it extremely difficult for low-income or non-english speaking households to participate in athletics by requiring tons of paperwork and charging many fees that essentially block out these students from participating.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
