Employees say
“I am empowered to do what is best for kids. I am given support and training to do my job to the best of my ability.”
“We truly care about kids and the job we do. We do not put numbers in front of kids or teachers. Teachers feel valued and appreciated. My principal is amazingly supportive and genuinely interested in our staff.”
“It truly is all about the kids here in PISD. I have worked in several other districts that say that, but it’s not true at all. It is truly the best district I have worked in during my 18 years in education.”
Fun facts
Outside the teacher salary schedule, Prosper pays double that of other districts into the state health insurance plan. It also matches employee contributions into a 403(b) plan up to $1,200 a year.
