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.
