Pros

-Full Benefits offered to all employees -The campus is beautiful -Working with MOST of the student population is a dream come true

Cons

Administrators and supervisors really don't care AT ALL about their staff. The turn over rates over the years are staggering. There is a reason people are leaving at an increasing rate and it isn't just special education burn out. The staff feel mistreated and unsupported from the executive director on down. Staff are tired of being the scapegoat of the supervisors' mistakes. There are plenty of other places to work in the world of special education. They may provide full benefits, but starting a 1 to 1 at 16k a YEAR or a classroom aide who may even be a certified teacher at 19k? Disgusting. Want to be blamed for doing your job? Work here. Want your supervisors to blame you for their screw ups? Work here. Want to make a measly salary and be berated daily by students and staff? Work here. Want to maintain your sanity and be allowed to complete your job duties? RUN AWAY.

Pros

Unique teaching experience. Everyday you learn something new. Many experienced teachers to learn from at the middle school, high school, and VTC levels. Never a dull moment! Great place to discover your professional strengths and work on your weaknesses. Students can be challenging at times but for the most part, they are great! Full benefits with paid sick and personal days. These come in handy what you need to take a break and have a mental health day!

Cons

Teachers and staff are not very supported by higher ups. There not enough communication between the leadership team and the direct service educational staff. Clinical services such as OT/PT/Speech were top notch until the recent arrival of the new clinical supervisor. Teachers are not given adequate training on severe behavior management, which can cause unsafe situations to occur. Elementary school is understaffed and unorganized.
