Cons
Head of School Todd Bland talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a classic "lax bro" who pretends to understand issues of equity, racism, and class but truly is unable to see past his own privilege. He constantly begins meetings by telling staff how much he "loves" them, but has allowed his head of "inhuman" resources to create a culture of fear and distrust where colleagues "investigate" one another for alleged infractions claimed by vigilante students using social media to defame career educators. Job security here is a joke (they fired a teacher who gave 40 years of her life to the school a mere 6 weeks before she retired). There is no humanity or empathy in the people who hold administrative positions. They are all about serving the bottom lines of money and reputation. Don't be fooled by the verdant quads and brick buildings: this place is poisonous.
