Pros

The staff was wonderful. ACCEL had several gatherings to celebrate teachers and promote camaraderie with local schools.

Cons

Underpaid and overworked. The staff was amazing, but the principal was new and was unable to control the students. Students that were referred to the office for vile behavior would return with suckers... Seriously. Students physically assaulted teachers (myself included) on multiple occasions and nothing was done. Completed a PD and was assured that I would be reimbursed, but after submitting my information I was told they were working on it. Months passed by and I finally contacted the superintendent and he told me it was NOT in my contract, but was offered through our payroll system, INSPERITY. At that point the 45 day window had closed and I was out of a few hundred dollars. Despite having emails to prove that the management including the principal, HR, and the Director of Assessment were emailing me back saying they were working on it, it was not enough to get my money. I feel as though this company does the least amount to help their staff and does not care about safety or know how to run this company.
