Pros

Great Community Loved working with the students The choices afforded to families is pretty comprehensive given the resources available

Cons

There seem to be no discernible standards concerning how HR decides on salaries. Across all levels of staff you will find very strange pay arrangements. It seems that the people the staff in HR likes will get the best pay. The HR manager uses very interesting justifications for the disparities and refuses to negotiate pay. They also don't check into people's resumes to verify their qualifications. I know quite a few people without GED's or proper certifications that are employed within their Classified staff. A lot of focus, however imperfect, is placed on their Certified staff, while Classified staff are sort of forgotten. All of the custodians and paraprofessionals I have spoken with feel this way. HR also spreads gossip freely in an apparent misunderstanding of the idea that they should treat employee matters with care and confidentiality.

Pros

Some of your co-workers make it worth going into work everyday.

Cons

Only work here if you want teachers that are turned over every 2 years. This school district has no respect for teachers has no value for teachers and only uses them until they burn them out and throws them out with no future work. Students have no consequences for negative behaviors. They can leave class whenever they want. Say whatever they want, do whatever they want and then the teachers are the ones who are held responsible for the students behavior. Administration gives no support to teachers and allows the students to go so far as to laugh in teachers faces because they know they run the school not the other way around. Students are allowed to turn in their work till the end of the semester to keep the failure rates down so the principals and superintendents look better even if that means teachers are up all night grading work so that the can get it in to make sure the students pass.
