Phase 1 Survey Question Responses

If you chose "something else" on the question above or if you would like to explain further, could you please elaborate below? •

Lack of support

My workload was excessive, and an assistant was needed.

Lack of support from the district level in regards to special education, lack of being able to make decisions for my campus even though I am the one here running it each day.

The challenges of having a campus that is struggling academically and teacher turnover.

I feel micromanaged. The first time in 30 years.

In my previous district, the political "wrangling" taking place was overwhelming. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the political leaders, you are an outcast, ignored, or not provided information or support. This is emotionally draining to maneuver. You spent most of your time trying to figure out the game and finding out what you're not being told. This leads to burnout.
