[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a DCPS teacher at a school that I really enjoy and where the parents have mostly been really supportive. The kids are great. However DCPS is a disaster. They have added so many unnecessary things to our plates and let me tell you, when you need to get a hold of someone from central office, good luck. They don’t answer phone calls, voicemails, emails — it’s quite a mess. I hate working for an organization that’s so unorganized and shows such little respect for teachers. I’ll be looking at a different district (or may even leave teaching altogether). [/quote]

My sentiments exactly.  I have colleagues who’s paychecks are incorrect, FMLA is not being processed, extra duty pay not being paid from last year, etc.  DCPS does not respond to those issues but if you haven’t watched a training video, you receive an email every few days from central office.  There seems to be zero accountability at central office to do basic things like process new hires in a timely fashion or help provide support for the lack of mental health staff available to work at schools.[/quote]

+2, absolutely love my school and despise the district it’s in. I can see how much it pains my principal to spend so much time on DCPS mandates. Just makes it a miserable place to be. I’ve already started looking outside both the district and field [/quote]
