Homophobia Rampant - Middle School Special Education Teacher Springfield Public Schools (MA) Employee Review

The administration changes far too frequently—3 major admin have left so far this year (Sept-Jan), and often administrators are deeply under qualified for their roles. Homophobia plagues the district, including its employees and is not taken nearly as seriously as it should be. I have seen countless promotions based purely on nepotism and favoritism and very few people who are committed to students over convenience or cost cutting are rewarded for their efforts. The support for new teachers is egregiously lacking and so-called deans function as glorified policemen putting their hands on students regularly.
