Pros

Working with students, helping them learn and grow into adults.

Cons

The staff is clicky, hateful towards each other if you dont fit into their "bubble". Was hard coming into work knowing people went out of their way to get you into trouble with your supervisor. No grace, horrible awful people.

Pros

I worked for LSR7 for 17 years. The leaders in this district are excellent people who treat teachers with so much dignity and respect. I loved working here and I loved every team I worked with.

Cons

It's a large district with 17 elementary schools, however, for such a large district, the leaders try very hard to keep things even across the board.

Business outlook

Pros

Working with a variety of students and staff. Mostly independent. Everyone is giving 100%. Time off for holidays and summers.

Cons

High stress, Support in place, but bombarded already. Understaffed. Hard to keep new people due to work load, on-boarding process lacks direction. It is trial and error to start.
