Pros

Competitive pay and benefits compared to many surrounding districts. Meaningful impact on students and opportunities to build strong relationships. Dedicated coworkers and campus staff who genuinely care about student success.

Cons

High workload and frequent meetings. Limited time during the workday to complete all required tasks. Expectations can continue to grow without a reduction in other responsibilities. Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain.
