Pros

At the time I was working there, the benefit packages were decent and the health plan was manageable. We ended up having to move because those things were cut in union negotiations by a significant portion, and we couldn't make it on both our incomes. Much happier in our new state.

Cons

Again, major cuts to pay/benefit packages. Also had issues with some of the curriculum, as well as the stances on discipline. HISD is supposed to be one of the better districts in TX, but it doesn't measure up to the other districts in which I've been fortunate to teach in other states.
