A School District In Disarray

Pros

There are some wonderful people who work in the district, students are great. Parents are generally supportive. It's a nice place to teach. Really nice community if you can afford to live here.

Cons

They are on their 4th superintendent since 2019 and preparing to hire a 5th. Leadership constantly changes. School board bickers at every meeting. District has spent itself into financial trouble and RIF's are being discussed at board meetings. Facilities are overcrowded and the school board has lost the support of the community and has little chance of passing a bond to build new facilities. Administrator churn is very high. Housing prices are going through the roof, don't expect to live here on a teacher's salary.
