Pros

This is the largest school district in Texas that is evolving and rue shaping the academic structure of many of its campuses. The district is home to top secondary specialty schools that are highly ranked nationally.

Cons

Recent changes in top level officials have scarred many campuses. There is not consistency in staffing. Teachers are responsible for social issues that stem from inadequate home environments.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
