Pros

- Mapleton cares about what's best for kids and is willing to make BIG changes to turn things around for a student population at risk of falling through the cracks.

Cons

You're either on or off the bus. Expectations are high and student achievement is the goal. But if you're in education student achievement is your focus so if you apply know what you're getting into and be prepared to work hard. (Which isn't really a con, just reality.)

Pros

This is both a con and a pro depending on your particular outlook: Site-based leadership Each school's director has a lot of ability and control to lead their specific model. I my opinion, this is a pro. I think it's good that the district does not dole out one-size-fits-all schools. Each site has it's own atmosphere, learning model, and goal but they also strive to meet state and federal standards. I also like that director's abilities are carefully assessed, ensuring the best school/director fit while taking student needs into account. Every director has a good chance to demonstrate their strengths, and every summer they are carefully assessed. Change for the sake of student and staff success is a good thing! I've worked in each school extensively and I love seeing different learning styles being met in different ways. That's my favorite thing about this district.

Cons

Site-based leadership. I think some people confuse a problem with their particular school as a problem with the district itself. This is a district of choice, and one director will not have the same style as the others. You might get a director you don't work well with, but the same is true anywhere. Here you have a bit more choice. I think the IT department is currently terrible, but I think that will change in the future. I'm confident that the current director of IT is so completely awful that it's only possible to improve the situation!

Pros

Small school district creates a sense of community. Leaders have great intentions and support staff to the best of their ability.

Cons

Constant change is difficult to deal with. Teacher and student turnover is high. Class size is too large. Students with emotional issues and behavior problems need to be supported more.
