Pros

The directors I worked with thought of the students first and not being #1. The students were awesome. Always busy. Every day was a new day. Learned to

Cons

The district Is no longer about the students. It has become about making money and portraying the district to look perfect with no downfalls. Only One Crises Counselor for the approximate 6,000 high school students. Not professional. Very political. Hiring practices (friends & family plan) do not follow district guidelines. Good 'ol boy system still in place!
