Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Frederick County Public Schools full-time for less than a year
Pros
Its crappy pay, but consistent. Love my little kiddos!
Cons
I started my role in the fall [mid-COVID] so I may be too new to judge harshly. In my opinion, the principle at my school too harshly because I think empathy is important. That said, the principle is the most passive aggressive person I have ever met. I have been trying to help improve the behavioral maturity of the teachers and be there for the kiddos during this difficult time and I get roadblocks and disrespected at every turn. In my opinion, this school doesn't care about their little one's mental health.

I worked at Frederick County Public Schools part-time for less than a year
Pros
Good pay, most of the kids are easy to work with.
Cons
When there's a major issue in the classroom, few schools are equipped to properly handle the situation and progressively discipline. The secretaries of each school are the gatekeepers of your employment; if they send a letter to the admin that they don't like you, then you will be removed from the rosters for that school with NO RECOURSE. This is a frank violation of basic labor law and needs to be changed immediately.
