Whittemore-Prescott Area Schools

Because I was responsible for all phases of special education, everyday was different. I worked with students from pre-school through 12th grade. I learned how important it is to listen to the concern of parents. Parents know ther children better than anyone else. When they have deep concerns, there usually is a basis for it. Many times, it is a lack of communication, which can be resolved.

I met many marvelous employees that are really good hearted people. Unfortunately, they change administrative personnel frequently.

The hardest part of the job was that I did not have a secretary for 6 months. During that period, I worked 10 to 12 hours per day and sometimes more. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with truly talented professionals that put the students first.

My responsibility is to promote student growth, both educationally and emotionally. I research and keep myself updated to meet state standards.  I have developed incentive programs to increase job performance and researched, planned, developed, organized and implemented training while supervising others to real goals set.  The hardest part of the job is large classroom sizes.  The most enjoyable part is helping others to reach their full potential.

Loved the work I did there.  But, need to be a lot more recognized for the work performed.  Need more better pay & insurance.  Management needs to stand by there hard working employees, & stop letting some employee’s do the management job.  Need ALOT more backing & support from the board. The children are there to learn & we need to make it more enjoyable learning & make consequences harder the 1st time on disruptive behavior, stop babying the bad behaviors.

About 6 months after being hired, the entire district took a 17% pay cut.  We had a vehicle repossessed, and had to refinance our house.
This was the worst financial decision of my life but, I had the honor of being my niece's high school counselor; as well, as my own children's, and I never missed award assemblies, special lunches, or field trips.

Go in and serv yhe kids there meals then do the count then we get all the food ready for lunch, which includes counting the numbers,Thene we serve the lunch and then we clean up and mop  do dishes and get stuff ready for next day.Learned a lot
worked out good working there when tou have kids

Typical day at work here was great, I learned a lot working with my basketball team from learning to lower the skill level from where I was at and how to work with a team. Management was great worked with me very well. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with others.

Basically this job is for people who are retired or have another source of income. Simply cannot live off of what you make there. Great staff, all supervisors are friendly and respectful.  Job itself isn't bad. Just doesn't pay enough. That's it.

District is located in a very small rural community. Outsiders have a difficult time breaking into the established hierarchy based on family name.Very intrusive culture.

Very educationally oriented community and sports minded.  Community education was one of the largest in the state at one time.  Administrations was very good,

Everyone here is very friendly. There is a family vibe in the workplace and that’s what I was looking for. I do wish there was a little more support, maybe another adult in the room.
