Higher degrees don't matter and policies change all the time

Co workers, six weeks off in the summer
|
Changing policies, reactive rather than proactive, you don't get compensated for higher degrees, no contracts,

Where hopes and dreams go to die
|
|
Nice Christmas bonus. Other than that nothing.
|
Students who physically and sexually assault staff regularly.
Administration who prioritizes profit over the safety of students and staff
You will not have the support of admin in parent disputes
Unprofessional Principal who swears at her employees.
No teaching resources.
The building literally smells like poop most of the year. There are sewer issues
Nails in the parking lot. I patched or replaced 3 tires in a year... kids will vandalize cars when they run from the building.
High employee turniver
Not enough 1:1 paras making the school non compliant with IEPs.
Employee incentives go to the same 4-5 people every month
No duty free lunch or plan and you are required to stay 1.5 hours past students.
Can only order lunch on fridays..... but office staff and admin do every day.

Please stay away
|
|
-Some of the staff really care about the kids.
|
-Very limited teaching resources(they tell you to go to SCARCE for books even though it is only for non-for-profits).
-Staff gets hurt frequently due to the nature of kids they take that they are NOT equipped to handle.
-Building is a dump
-Students have no incentive to behave which is strange for a school that manages behaviors

Sacrifice profit in order to educate the kids. You have a social responsibility with owning a school. It can not be run like the average business.

I realize that this is a for-profit school, but try putting that on the back burner and realize that this is a school first and a business second. Support the teachers and actually get curriculum that is engaging.

Remember you are a school, not a business. If you don't put your students and staff first, you will fail over and over again no matter who you change your "leadership" to be.

None, but there is a five word minimum.
|
never mentioned before co-teacher, inappropriate staff relationships and behavior, no breaks, no prep time, long hours, low pay, each lunch with students even. Noncompliant in IEP's and lie about any sort of data. They have no curriculum at all. They have no resources at all. The teachers do what they can but admin does not care at all about teachers or staff unless their in their "clique." What they care about even less than staffing is their students. Its a scam from the moment a potential student and/or their guardian(s) walk through the door. All around terrible. Over 50% turn over rate of new teachers every year. Even though they told me at interview out of the blue that "a teacher hasn't left here in two years"....okay sureeee....STAY AWAY
