Liberty Public Schools

Being a teacher - especially an AP teacher of two incredibly different subjects - is very time-consuming and at times incredibly challenging.  I shy away from no challenge.  I work as hard as I can, I follow the goals set by leadership, and at times I run around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Yes, I know that prior sentence was grammatically incorrect!  I had six hours of full classes a day, four of them different preps (or classes), two of them being AP or college level.  Most teachers have one to three preps a day.  I ran from class to class with a five minute break to setup the next hour without wasting any time and being happy and welcoming to each new student walking in my classroom.

I have to be very efficient and use every second of the 45 minutes I have each day to make sure every student learns what they can.  Each year I've learned a student will give you more than they think they can if they know you believe in them, but also if they know you like them as a person.

The topics I chose to teach are some of the most time consuming when it comes to creating lessons, creating assignments / tests / essays, and most especially grading those assignments in order to help students learn.  But I would never trade my experiences teaching for the world. I've learned how much space there is in my heart for another person's child and their well-being.  I've learned there are multiple ways to teach a topic so someone "gets it" based on the multiple ways one can explain a concept (something I learned in high school that helped me in the IT world).

Daily inter office meetings regarding activities being held for that day including concerns and questions from Teachers on cleaning schedules and possible assistance with setting up classrooms for PTA meetings. Teaching Staff always having positive feedback toward the Custodial Staff and holding luncheons ( Custodial Appreciation Day). Always a welcoming appreciation from the Teachers and  office Staff. Close knit communication between all parties involved. Personally looked forward to going to work everyday and had great appreciation for the Teaching Staff, Office Staff , Students and Custodial Supervisor. The Hardest part of the job was Summer work ( stripping and waxing floors and moving furniture ). The most enjoyable part of the job was being with a strong professional Custodial  crew and inter acting with the Teaching Staff on both a personal and professional level. Since the introduction of a new Custodial Director the culture has changed from a positive to a negative environment creating difficult communication between Teachers and office Staff and the Custodial Department.

LPS Kid's Zone has been home to me for a collective year & a half. Since then, I've moved up from a program counselor to being second in charge as an Assistant Site Director for my site. Absolutely love the working environment, & the kid's & staff I interact with. Only down fall is, there are no benefits & hours are usually under 30 hours. A typical day at work includes getting there & clocking in, getting every station set up for having the kids there, getting the computer's up & running, & waiting for the kids to show up. I've learned how to be extremely patient with the kids I interact with, as some of them may not catch what I mean the first, second or third time I've explained something. Management is very easy to talk to, I can come to anyone with any problem or question & it gets answered without any question as to why I asked, or why I didn't know it before. The hardest part of the job is typically waking up at 5:30am Monday-Friday in order to get there at 6:30am. Not really that hard once I get up & moving, but actually getting myself out of bed seems to be a challenge! The best part of my job is working with the kids.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The school district actually cares about their employees and overall creates a great working environment. Plus, the pay is very competitive. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing really. For the most part it is a great job. But If I am required to write aome5hint then I would say working with bad employees who do not care about doing a great job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overall, it is really great. Upper management for the most part actually cares about their employees and taking care of them. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Since I am a Night Lead Custodian Supervisor it is basically the same thing almost every day. Our work is very routine. You have the same area of rooms to clean, so you know what to expect every day. The only time that changes is when you have some event being held at your school and you have to set up for the event and then clean up afterwards.

I have worked for LPS for 16+ years and have been, in general, very satisfied with the culture and professional development opportunities. It is sometimes difficult to balance the administrative aspects of my position with the instructional demands and patron needs but I enjoy the variety. No two days are alike!
My colleagues have been very professional and positive overall. 
I feel I have been treated fairly and compensated adequately.
My favorite part of the position is the interaction with the patrons, both student and staff. I get a lot of satisfaction from providing the services that they need. 
My goal is to have every encounter be as positive as is possible, even the potentially negative ones.

I have been working for Liberty Public Schools for a little over a year now and I have been wowed by how supportive my leadership team is. I am encouraged to attend my child's school activity and take time off. In the past, I have been made to feel guilty for leaving work. This is something that has really stood out to me. it's nice when an employer recognizes you as a person and not just a number. 

The work I do challenges me but doesn't leave me feeling like I don't have enough time in the day to complete it. If you need help, everyone around you is willing to pitch in or show you support on how they have done it in the past. I really feel like everyone I work with is more like friends and family and less like co-workers. 

I would highly recommend working for the Liberty Public School District 

Liberty's transportation department works hard to create a sense of comradery and the general work culture reflects that. Most of the day is fairly repetitive, buses range from basically brand new to falling apart. Routes are picked yearly by seniority or you can choose to retain roughly what you had the previous year. Problems with students aren't taken as seriously as I think they should be but the management is good at defending its staff from "Karens". Not a bad job with not bad pay if the hours suit you.

I believe that LPS is a very good place to work.  It appears that they are interested in employing young people without experience to keep the salary/budget cost down.  
I did enjoy working with the students, staff, families and administration.  I would have enjoyed trying to develop programs.  
It is a very good school district.
I was only hired for summer school and as a long term substitute for the regular school year.  My salary then would not be high on their salary schedule.
I hope in the future to be hired as a administrator or educator.

I am fairly new to LPS but I have felt welcomed from the moment I interviewed. I also feel great about my contributions to the community, even as small as my part is in the district.  

My manager cares about my professional growth and encourages me to attend webinars and/or conferences that are in line with my role. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me here at LPS!  

When I first started the most memorable thing that stood out was that the administrators were very approachable and down to earth. No matter the position held there is the ability to freely interact as peers and share opinions. Team Liberty is a unique group that displays this through actions, it is like our congress. Every employment group has a representative to vote on big decisions such as insurance, calendars, salary enhancements, or bring forward issues to correct as an organization. I am thrilled to be employed by this great school district.
