Clay County School District

What is the best part of working at the company?
The school itself was phenomenal to work for. Amazing admin and staff, awesome students.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nurses are NOT valued in this district. In fact, they are seen as replaceable. Have a diabetic child? They may have a random person off the street administering insulin as the district does not require a nurse to be in each school. They consider acute things like diabetic care to be delegatable and pressure the nurse to train them (under the school nurse’s own license, which would be at risk if they make a mistake).

School nursing is the only professionally licensed specialty in the district not paid as a professional. OT/PT/SLP are paid higher than teachers and have paid breaks and summers like a teacher. However, nurse are paid as support staff and make $18-24/hour and do not get paid for breaks or summers. Nurses are expected to chart 3 different ways while administering dozens of meds, managing several diabetic students, and handling 50+ clinic visits per day. For far less than new grade pay. So insulting to the profession and a clear picture of the old boy’s regime that needs an overhaul in central administration. It’s tragic because the schools themselves are amazing to work for, but the board nor the superintendent values nurses as the licensed professionals they are.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
On the school level, it’s warm and supportive. On the district administrative level, it’s a joke. Poor nursing leadership who doesn’t stand up for the nurses.

I started back in Feb  of 2019 and was excited ,, Until i was told at my first day i would only be getting 6 years experience upfront then submit for the other 4 and that's not guaranteed, with that said at my interview the trans director said i would get 16hr biased off experience. Which i never got. I stayed as long as i could i got state certified as a bus mechanic and did all they asked but some how still kept getting screwed.. by the time i quit it was july and still same pay there never gave me my raise that was promised and still never gave me the credit for the job experience i had.
If the lazy admins would do there jobs this would be such a great shop i would have stayed ,, but the main reason i left was pay and horrible  management in the shop it self .. the trans director was great he helped me and i him as much as possible ounce he gets rid of the the horrible mangers in the shop he will have a great group of guys.

As a substitute teacher I fulfilled both short-term and long-term substitute assignments across all subject areas, effectively teaching students of various academic/ age levels and diverse cultural backgrounds. I instructed classes of up to 24 students, communicate with teachers, administrators and parents and built a positive understanding with students. I employed instructional methods and materials that were most appropriate for meeting lesson objectives and addressed behavior conformity towards students with disciplinary problems as well as followed schools procedures and regulations. I successfully maintained a classroom environment that was conducive to learning and appropriate to the maturity and interests of the students.  I guided the learning process toward the achievement of curriculum goals and objectives as indicated in the lesson plans.

I was the Carpentry instructor at MHS, where I taught classes from Carpentry 1 thru Carpentry 8. My students earned an industry certification thru the National Center for Construction Education and Research. I was the dept. head for the Trades and Industry dept. as well as the Lead teacher for The Academy of Architecture Construction and Interior Design, which was an academy inside MHS. As lead teacher I would coordinate with other teachers in the academy, both carreer tech and academic,administrators and industry professionals. the hardest part of my job was having so many responsibilities with no one to assist me in all the clerical duties that were required. The job was very rewarding when one of my students would go on after high school and become successful contributor to their industry.

A typical day included assisting a Special Education Teacher in managing the classroom, including helping to manage behavior and student performance, grading classwork, providing additional supervision, and escorting students around campus (e.g. to and from elective/resource/external classes). I cannot speak to being a teacher, but being a paraprofessional was a decent position. The culture is generally friendly as far as communication and relations between employees and co-workers is concerned. Clay County offers decent benefits (PTO and medical insurance), but hourly compensation is quite poor (<$12).

This district is just okay.  The good news is that there are some great teachers and students.  There are also some administrators that care. 
 The bad news is that the pay is lower, and the benefits are terrible and much more costly than the surrounding school districts.  Training opportunities are very limited, and teachers seem to have little to no autonomy to choose professional development based on their needs.  Micromanagement is definitely an issue here.  Admin seem to have teachers on a short leash, allowing little opportunity for collaboration between colleagues. Though ....in fairness....I'm sure that each school experience will be different.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
I truly love the work, its just does not pay what the job is worth. Over worked and very under paid. I assume it's because it's a school. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having the staff do their part and being expected to do their jobs and mine and leadership is not supportive in that roll

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's not too bad , but it can be better. Many of the staff are one sided and the leadership needs to lead with true accountability of everyone, not just certain ones.

I enjoyed my time at CCSD and only left due to a family move out of the state. I was blessed to work at an amazing school with a superb staff that was always willing to go above and beyond for the students. My school administrators were very involved, in a positive way, and the director over therapy services for the district truly cares about her employees and the students they serve. Was everything perfect? Obviously the answer is no, but if you have the heart for providing school-based therapy services, Clay is definitely a district I would recommend. 

I actually love my job and the people I work with, however like many other teaching jobs the pay is terrible. I’ve got 16 years with the school board as a teacher and newbies are starting out making the same pay. What’s even worse is that those ready to retire are also making that same salary. It pains me to have to consider leaving a profession that is so important and that I excel every way in, however comfortably providing for my family comes first. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The teachers and other personnel genuinely care about the children and their well being.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The other employees. Not doing their jobs and doing the bare minimum and bad work ethic.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very cliquish.I felt like I was in high school dealing with certain individuals.
