Pros

As a large district, Austin ISD has access to vast resources. I rarely found a time when supples were not available to me.

Cons

Austin ISD does not seem to care very much about retaining its teachers. The principals have all gotten to be principals based on politics instead of qualifications. I have worked in several different school districts in two different states, and Austin Independent School District is the only one I could not recommend. The salary is not as high as surrounding districts, the insurance is just on par. Austin ISD gives less sick days than surrounding districts.

Pros

Patient staff, wise leadership, and empathic policies.

Cons

No growth, lack of communication between teams and staff, people are set in their ways and oppose change. Currently there are hiring freezes so it is difficult to know if the job will be available by the start of school year.
