Best job I ever had.
I worked for Clark County 9 years. In my eight year I had a supervisor that advised me to retire. I told her I had a right to work. She gave me an unsatisfactory evaluation.

Administration is supportive of students and staff.
The school Administration supports students and staff. While short-staffed, we work as a team and help out fellow teachers and staff as needed. Due to my experience and can do attitude, Admin team invite me to help out with student activities such as basketball games and chaperone choir student bus transportation to other schools.

Depends on the school
Some schools are great and others not so much. An awesome admin makes all the difference. As of now, my admin is great to work with but other schools are not so lucky.

loved the kids...just not the pay.
Loved my job but the pay is not ok when you have as much as education as a doctor and school loans up the wazoo! I became a mother and decided it was more important for me to stay home then put my child in daycare to go work for less than 40,000.
Prosimproving lives, always growing

Literally have to be in it for your love of kids
The Clark County School District made too may changes with very little positive affect on their employees. I do not feel valued in this District and it has forced me to look elsewhere for employment.

Too many chiefs not enough indians
The district would run seamless if there was more individual attention to schools. With over 300k students and 33k teachers the district needs to be divided into smaller sectors. This way schools would receive the attention they need trickling down to students.
ProsWork hours
ConsClass sizes

CCSD Work Environment & System = A Horrible Profession
Do yourself a favor. Find a different profession. No one appreciates the work you do. No one! The work environments are cannibalistic. CCSD's mantra is "do more with less". Then they wonder why they can't retain employees and work morale is below low.
You receive zero emotional support or encouragement from management/admin/other teachers. Principals and Assistant Principals act as if they are God, do whatever is in their best interest, and then have the audacity to complain when others above them do exactly the same. The system is broken and no one has the intellectual capacity [from the top down] or the will to change the system.
ProsThe days off
ConsEverything else.

Unmanageable workload; Frequent travel between sites; Ineffective leadership
The district is short staffed and places the burden of work on the existing staff, which means working at multiple sites with large caseloads at each site. Frequent travel between sites is required and there is little that supervisors can/will do to support the unmanageable workload.
