Pros

Work from home. In my pajamas.

Cons

Where to begin?! There’s new management across the board where once was a collaborative team is now full of vile individuals who wish to divide everyone for the sake of control. Teams that once relied on each other and planned together are now distrusting of everyone in the departments to the point where we have isolated ourselves even further because we are afraid to let our airs of confusion, consideration and complaints be heard. The school doesn’t care what teachers say as they are not the ones with the boots on the ground and the constant paper pushing and overloading of work and rosters. This school will lose its charter in a matter of three years because the high overturn of teachers, staff, and low student achievement. The school quit allowing teachers to teach and instead went to checking off a box for the sake of checking it off. Be prepared to work up to 70 hours a week. The work load and last minute requests and due dates for large rosters are unattainable unless you never want to see your own children. Many of the teachers and school Level administration are afraid to lose their jobs in any given moment and are on the chopping block. Stay far away. High level admin needs to go...

Pros

WFH but that's off set by the 70 hr, unpaid OT they expect

Cons

*10000000 "managers" to constantly mentally terrorize you *0 respect for teachers. The HOS acts as a mini dictator in a fiefdom and is completely unqualified to be where she is. Nepotism all the way at this place. The BOE = greedy, unqualified, abusive. The entire district team are all abusive to teachers. * The bottom of the barrel students and parents. Many of these "parents" are running or have destroyed their relationships with their home district because of their behaviors. *constantly gaslight by the 1000 managers who use manipulation and abusive/bullying tactics to put teachers under their thumbs. *Constantly expected to work for free. This school has 0 work/life balance. You'll be working thr work load of 5 teachers for 35% less pay then public schools. They absolutely do not respect their teachers to pay appropriately. *Huge turnover for a reason. There's alot of reasons this place is Constantly hiring, even though they offer WFH in a pandemic. They're so awful that they can not retain. *Again, terrible work conditions. Constant required unpaid OT, tremendous caseloads/class sizes with wildly inappropriate amounts of staff that are actually doing the work. Constant meetings where they love to talk down to and belittle teachers. Teachers are forbidden to express concerns (the most emotionally abusive place I've ever been, the whole place is as toxic as Chernobly). *caseload = 50+, plus new intake students constantly. You'll be doing IEP meetings every day of the week plus those 6 preps and you're expected to just give up planning everyday to do meetings. Again, they pay you for 40 hrs a week and expect 80. Express valid concerns and they'll gaslight, minimize, and bully. They routinely use PIPS to intimidate and bully teachers. There is absolutely nothing about this school that's worth it. There's a reason only managers are coming on here leaving positive reviews but actual teachers are saying the opposite.

Pros

work at home, no commute

Cons

Angela Lassetter is the reason the school went bad. All the teachers agree that K12 was better and we miss the leadership, experience and value from K12.
