Pros

1:1 laptops and Chromebooks for students. The technology is great and great students overall.

Cons

DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN or any other MINORITY! You will be given the teaching assignments the other teachers do not want. There will be no opportunity for your personal growth. This is a trend throughout the entire district. You will not be seen as a human being, you will be seen as a workhorse.

Leadership is a JOKE

Pros

There are wonderful teachers who truly care about the children they teach, commit themselves despite low salaries and spend a lot out of pocket to make it work. A number of administrators have not lost touch with why they are in education and try their best to comply with rules, guidelines, and laws in an ever-increasing political environment ruled by principals who are incestuously embedded with key leadership and the ousting of committed professionals.

Cons

Superintendent is an overpaid incompetent, uninterested in the children. He spent over $100k for marketing slogans to advertise for his next Superintendent job so he can earn more than the $340k he makes today. Along with the ever-growing cadre of former cheerleaders who've never spent time in the classroom making more than $200k / year while teachers have declining healthcare at increasing costs and lower pay scales, all to pay for the increasing number of Directors and Executive Directors who have "administrated" their way from one school district to another avoiding disgrace but leaving a trail of failure in their wake. All the while trampling on the backs of highly committed, experienced professionals who command true respect for their service from the people they serve.

Limited opportunities

Pros

Worked with some great teachers and administrators. Educational technology has been strong. Vision is clearly established by new superintendent. Growing district.

Cons

Promotion and hiring opportunities are limited for senior staff. Who you know is more important than what you know. Pattern of replacing senior and experienced leadership with groups of personally connected, young, and inexperienced educators. Demographics and needs among schools are strikingly disparate and not necessarily fully addressed or understood by district leadership.
