Pros

The only pro to the district is since it's so large there are many campuses to transfer to if you insist on working here.

Cons

The district rolls out blanket programs expecting equal results on campuses that are understaffed and under resourced. The higher administration doesn't focus on ALL campuses and ensuring that special ed students get the services due to them. There is no nurse or guidance counselor on many campuses.

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.
