I am an employee

If your are teacher looking for a job or anyone looking for a job don't work here if care about your mental health, Because the environment can be very toxic. The director want things to be done her way and her way only. if she have a problem with your work she will take it down after you leave. First let start off with upstairs of the building we got people staying and living in the back room that was weird. The director don't know how to address teacher correctly about concerns and she always have a problem with your work. So to say that just don't work here if your mental health is very important to you.
