Pros

Committed, ultra-hard working teammates. Some tech leaders trying to steady the boat but fighting an uphill battle.

Cons

Unclear why the new CIO was hired. Borderline sociopath with no technology skills or knowledge. Tech staff resignations continue and K12 technology and ability to support families and schools doubtful. CTO not much better. Who is doing the hiring?

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
