Pros
Hybrid of education and technology makes for continual challenges and support. There are many opportunities to incorporate new tools into curriculum.
Cons
Because everything is supported, scope of work is quite broad. Be ready to tackle new apps and implement them in short periods of time.

I have been working at Rocky View Schools full-time
Pros
The schools are much smaller than typical Calgary schools. It's fairly easy to contact people at the Central Office because the bureaucracy is much smaller. If you are interested into moving into Admin positions there are plenty of opportunities.
Cons
Because the school district surrounds Calgary on the north, east and west sides, the schools are very spread out. This adds a lot of time travelling to schools if you are coaching.
Advice to Management
Keep the small district feel and accessibility for teachers to Admin the way it is. Please don't do updates to PowerSchool at the start of school year ever again.

Pros
Smaller schools, more student contact. Able to get to know the students and feel you are really making a difference
Cons
Many of the employees have been there for a long time, so if you are new you have to make a real effort to get to know people
Advice to Management
Implementing an orientation including school tour, meeting teachers, setting up a coffee and lunch hour when other employees are there will help new staff feel more included
