Pros

The students and the parents. Loved all my students and their families. Sweet students who I truly loved and enjoyed working with.

Cons

Worst district ever. All administration cares about is themselves and money. All the big wigs are having affairs with each other. Disgusting place to work.

Very Poorly Run District

Teacher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

SPS pays more than any other district in the area.

Cons

From the top down, most upper level leadership are very dishonest and only in it for the money. There is so much turnover in HR that it is rare to see the same people there year to year. District leadership puts so much pressure on principals to keep discipline numbers down that there is no genuine accountability for students and there is little to no permanent tracking of student behaviors. As a district, they appear to have no genuine care for their employees; there are some administrators and/or managers/supervisors that care for employees, but they are typically weeded out and gotten rid of quickly.
