Pros

Great job and department. I loved this school and the staff. Only issue was the district is not on the same page as the school.

Cons

My contract was cut short after I refused to work for the district only because pay was 1/2 as much as my agency.

We understand how frustrating unexpected contract changes can be, especially when tied to compensation concerns.
