Vantaggi

Most of the people I worked with were brilliant, caring, and a joy to work with. Pay is great for education space There is some innovative work being done

Svantaggi

Mentality that because pay is great, can run folks into the ground. Right now there is mass attrition from ALL central office teams (including folks who have been there many years). Expectation to serve the whole child at the expense of the whole adult. Mentally healthy work environments and employee retention are viewed as a nice to have, not a need to have. When people leave - their work is often given to the rest of the team, instead of hiring someone new. It's common for folks do be doing multiple jobs and have ever-changing scopes of work. Avoid roles in the Office of Leadership Development! Once a great team - new leadership has created a toxic environment that has forced many wonderful, high-performing teammates out. Hybrid work format is absurd - central office work can be done remotely. Even when you're working in person, you're still having virtual meetings and conducting business like you do at home. Plus, with in person you have to deal with the commute and expensive/unbelievably hard to find parking. Constant urgency (and other characteristics of white supremacy culture) trickles down from senior leadership and permeates the entire organization.

Vantaggi

Culture varies by school, but district leadership assesses principal's ability to form healthy culture and replaces principals when necessary. My school's culture is much stronger under a relatively new person/ Salary is robust, better than comparable places, though not enough to work in a really challenging school with weak culture. (But great if you're at a well-run school!) IMPACT is allegedly controversial but I appreciate the opportunity for merit pay.

Svantaggi

District-provided resources vary dramatically in quality. City politics are too involved in schools. Parents direct their political energy towards advocating for schools in a way that is well-intentioned but oftentimes misinformed. Very DC.
