Poor Leadership, Toxic Work Environment

Pros

Family like environment with coworkers

Cons

Superintendent Gonzalez was the worst leader the district ever had. It’s clear she wrote one of these reviews trying to defend herself, because nobody else would be dumb enough to put their reputation on the line to do so. She claims that only two employees left in 2016 - 2017. Did she forget she fired more than 2 employees that year without cause. She also forgot to mention that the district has several pending lawsuits against them, due to wrongful termination of quite a few former employees. She also forgot to mention that she left because she was about to be fired. These reviews are not from disgruntled employees trying to slander her. It’s not slander when it’s the truth. Before considering taking a job here, please read all of these reviews and take them to heart. Unlike what Gonzalez is saying, these reviews are not lies. She was an incompetent leader and the board finally saw her true colors. She’s the coward who quit in the middle of her contract because she was about to be terminated. Too bad she can’t be truthful about the reason she left. It’s funny that while she was employed at EPISD, she was transferred to a new school every year. School districts do that when they have bad employees, hoping they will leave on their own. She’s talks a good talk, but she can’t walk the walk.

Pros

Teachers and staff are friendly and give 100%.

Cons

The turnover rate is sky-high because leadership is so inadequate. Superintendent Gonzalez is sorely lacking in professionalism. She ran teacher inservice while I was there, and it was painfully obvious that she had thrown her presentations together at the very last minute. Her facts and figures were wrong, and the activities she forced us to engage in were quite pointless. When I taught at DaVinci, TWENTY-EIGHT teachers quit in the fall semester - just ONE SEMESTER! - because of her rude, arrogant, incompetent ways. A friend of mine was invited to speak at a UTEP graduate education class panel discussion around this same time, and he came home complaining about this annoying, self-important woman (a graduate student) who spent the whole time messing with her phone. I knew Magladeno was attending UTEP, showed him a picture of her, and sure enough... The only reason she's advanced as far as she has in the organization is that she's okay with being a puppet for Burnham, who wanted to retire but did not want to give up control of the schools she founded.
