Pros

There are a lot of dedicated and talented administrators and teachers in HISD.

Cons

Since Terry Greer arrived many good administrators and teachers have left the district. Of those who remain, many are too cowed to do what they know is right.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
