Manor Independent School District

The school district was very frustrating to work for due to the discipline issues and lack of support from The school district was extremely frustrating to work for due to the discipline issues and lack of support from the administration. This district plays favorites and takes advantage of teachers. It is very unorganized and top-heavy at the district office. Students run the halls all day, principals are often absent, and chaos reigns in the school. Additionally, the district is very racially polarized. This district does play favorites and will take advantage of teachers. The district is very unorganized and very top-heavy at the district office. The students are running the halls all day and the principals are all AWOL, while chaos reigns in the school. 

Manor ISD has one of the lowest district pay. It started off great originally with support from above, but then they disappeared. Last minute meetings, staying late after work, deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. It just keeps piling on. Now we are experiencing micromanaging when we come into work down to the minute. Write-ups for those who are just a couple of minutes late. The turnover rate is high this year. I understand it's been a difficult year, but it's been even more challenging without the right support. Sometimes I forget we even have admin at our school. 

The best part are my fellow teachers. They're the only reason (as well as the sweet students) I keep going. But we are worn out. We have no support. Everyone is just burned out here.

Toxic work environment:   
Coworkers stabbing each other in the back trying to destroy a good established work related reputations in hopes of getting ahead.  Some administrator are very vindictive and target certain individual workers by making their jobs very uncomfortable even at the cost of students and that's putting it mildly.

This was my personal experience the last 5 yrs. of teaching at Manor High School.  I have no personal knowledge of the other schools in the district.  I can only repeat what I have been told by teachers at other schools and that won't be fair.

I learned so much at Manor ISD as a teacher and life skills that carry out the rest of my career. I am able to take on other jobs, feel confident in other skills for workplace rather than just how to play a piano. 
I have way better communication skills as they gave us lots of support in learning our craft. Teaching and learning how to coach others and bring out their best learning abilities. 
I am so proud to have worked at Manor and know that I can get another job in other fields and face it with strong work ethic. Teachers have to work hard and I am not afraid of it.

As a school nurse a typical day involves administering medication to students, work with counselors, student family support services and teachers to provide care. With an excellent support from front office and teachers each day is exciting and fun as it unfolds. Convincing and educating parents of asthmatic and allergic students the need for medication at school in case of emergencies is the biggest challenge of my job. I enjoy taking care of my students and staff in times they need me the most.

The leadership in Manor is a good ole boy/girl network.  My boss was the most vile woman I have ever met.  She was completely unprofessional and said things to kids that would shock you.  She was unfair in every capacity and no one could make her happy.  People are leaving in droves as no one can work in the high stress, toxic environment.  She had numerous grievances filed against her and she is still there with no reprimands.  It was unreal.  It was the worst experience of my life.

Manor was a small rural district, but now it is growing at a very fast rate.  The district has had many problems at the district level with administrative procedures and hiring procedures.  I left the school district because the changes did not change the district positively.  
The community  and teachers are great.  I hope the administration gets it together before they turn into an urban district.

The independent school district of Manor is very rewarding and I enjoy working with the elementary children, both bilingual and monolingual.

You are allowed to participate in all the activities at the school when you are working.

While the organization is there, the roles need to be defined better. The chain of command is not clear. They undercut each other, and don't seem to understand how that affects moral.
Maintenance of the Bus is outstanding and middle management tries to help but upper management is not supportive. 
With the fast growth,  older local drivers are clanish and can be mean. Kids were very good and the school staff seemed to care.

Sub work is plentiful and if I was a teacher, I wouldn't want to be at work either. Job culture is minimal and there are a lot of 'friends of friends'. Healthcare is expensive and the work is stressful. Lots of changes within the district. Good potential, just needs strong leaders.
