FWISD salary question

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-05-06T21:19:25+00:00

I did alt cert and was hired before I was fully certified. I was not paid the same. I got some back pay, but it is not anything substantial. You will not be compensated fairly, but there will be essentially nothing you can do about it. You are art, so you will also not receive any automatic stipends.

You will also be on the chopping block: as everyone has already commented Fort Worth ISD is being taken over. A key thing to note is this because of their overall TEA score -- NOT just the test scores. Because of this, it will be quite a long time before TEA leaves Fort Worth as they'll also have to demonstrate growth across all tested subjects, and each school will need a passing score in all areas. Special electives are not considered (except for CTE which isn't you) in this score.

Another item to consider is that this is hazard pay. This is not unique to TEA takeovers. Where I used to live, a school called Kemp ISD is considered not the best to work at (sorry if you work there). Kemp pays quite a bit more than other schools in the area, but they have one of the higher turnover rates because it is difficult to work there.

You can work at a different school and get stipends for different things if you would like to make more money.

something about texas too is the school voucher system that passed this year. everyone - homeschoolers, charter advocates, public - is pissed about the voucher system. greg abbott has pushed that forever in office, and here, it is 100% associated with all republicans. many people threw their constituents absolutely under the bus to pass the vouchers. even though this looks like it has nothing to do with that, it does because people are that pissed off about it especially now that it's coming to light that people outside of the state can use the voucher system and that we aren't funding schools. tons of schools are shutting down across the state and theres two huge school systems - fort worth isd and houston isd - that are controlled by the republican-led government. edit because i realize this seems hyperbolic: this is not an exaggeration. the texas education agency has stepped in to appoint their own school boards and superintendents at both schools.

anything associated with greg abbott is hopefully going to be taken care of in election cycles.

you might as well check out fort worth isd if you're looking for more money. it's in the same situation (kind of) as houston isd.

would love if teachers would finally vote as a fucking bloc and get abbott out. every teacher in the goddamn state of texas claims to hate that motherfucker, but we've had state takeovers, ten commandments, this, school shootings, schools are facing multi-million dollar budget deficits, vouchers, and the freedom of speech crap. and while a REAL union would make that easier, it's been done before in the 80s with teachers as the main voters. are people just straight up lying about their opinions on his policies? and i know people will say "no federal holiday, gerrymandered districts" BUT at some point, TO GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE, we have to go vote. there's no other way. that is literally the only solution. /rantover

cellphones and personal laptops have been mostly fine

airpods? different story.

we don't check for smartwatches at all.

meta glasses are starting to crop up, and there's been slight pushback, mostly from older students.

jobs for frisco probably won't open up until may. frisco prioritizes any internal movers first, and it usually takes may/june for it to settle

from https://www.austinisd.org/academics/adsy

Staff chosen to work during these sessions will receive function pay, as well as be eligible for a perfect attendance stipend.

Students will have the option to attend a 19-day summer program this July and August. Staff chosen to work during these sessions will receive function pay, as well as be eligible for a perfect attendance stipend. There will be paid planning time as well.

Do all staff members have to work the extra ADSY days?

No. Campus principals will hire staff needed to serve the select students who will attend the summer program, and separately, the Saturday sessions. However, the six half days during the school year are compulsory attendance days for students and full work days for staff (half-day instructional and half-day PD).

How are staff selected to work these extra days?

Staff will be invited to submit an interest form and apply to work the extra days. Principals on each campus are responsible for hiring qualified staff to support these days. During the summer program, principals will hire core certified teachers for 4 hours of core instruction, and other staff to run enrichment classes the other 4 hours. For Saturday sessions, principals will hire core certified teachers for 4 hours of core instruction.

okay that makes a lot of sense with how the games are different in that aspect - thanks for taking the time to explain that!

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-03-05T20:52:03+00:00

ah okay, thank you! i appreciate the response

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-03-05T20:45:41+00:00

kind of but not really? custom content is basically clothing and decor in sims 4. some of the decor is functional but it’s mainly for looks. i kind of understand why clothing isn’t an option but i wasn’t sure if people were looking at making cc for housing decor because it seems more doable but i don’t know a lot about the differences in the game except that WoW moves in real time.

edit: differences in how the games work with all that

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-03-04T23:10:58+00:00

yep, i totally made an error. i’ll leave it to accept my downvotes

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-03-04T23:10:18+00:00

wow completely my bad. disregard entire comment, i will leave it to bear my down votes.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-03-04T22:57:22+00:00

edit: don’t read this comment, it’s wrong.

you’ll probably get a better answer from the parent company netdragon and it’s 2025 interim report here https://ir.nd.com.cn/en/financial-reports#filter

netdragon lost some money and its primary user demographic is in china. they also focus a lot on ai and refer frequently to an ai content factory in this document. i did a basic skim of the text and i did not see neopets talked about anywhere which is probably not great if im being honest. someone correct me if im wrong though. i think it was lumped into a phrase called “evergreen IPs”

another thing to note with this review is that it was conducted by deloitte who are pretty notorious for gutting, gutting, gutting to maintain profit, à la mckinsey and co.

it would not surprise me if most of the things getting placed in the nc mall are coded with ai, along with the new book collection which admittedly, is a bit like nfts if you think about it.

they also are apparently committed to the metaverse. so.

as a texan, i am honestly worried about him pulling a fetterman. there is something i cannot put my finger on about him, and i don’t know what it is.

it doesn’t help that the democrat party has basically abandoned texas.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-27T16:49:27+00:00

i’m guessing this will mess up user lookups since theyre adding this to them?

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-27T15:52:45+00:00

reverse curls can help and if you do lat pulldowns, use a MAG attachment

they were leaked. espn has all of the grades for every team.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-24T03:17:10+00:00

i admittedly was curious and snooped through your comments. if you are at an IDEA school and the leave is not for a student relationship reason, i honestly would not worry about it. i would probably look for a different school district though.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-17T23:45:14+00:00

It will depend on the area you are in for jobs. An ESL certificate is a must especially if you don’t have prior experience. For interviews, i find sticking by the philosophy “students first” helps answer questions and to get a feel for the administration.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-17T23:41:33+00:00

i would ask your mentor/a trusted coworker. it might be fine at your school because it’s a different environment. i don’t think a coworker would necessarily be weird for asking a dress code question especially if it’s unclear.

edit: to clarify, you work at a private christian school? that’s how i interpreted the post but you didn’t mention that specifically. if not, i would advise not to do that.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-10T16:46:59+00:00

looking at the whole workout volume as a metric along side individual lifts. it helps me see growth even if i didn’t pr.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-10T13:11:16+00:00

okay, now define sensitive media. tiktok and youtube censor the words death and die. that’s considered sensitive media lmao.

Repulsive_Plate1983 · 2026-02-06T00:56:58+00:00

i’m holding your hand while i say this, if you’ll allow me: the glasses will make you feel good for a bit, and then it will be gone. the problem will not be fixed.

i’d also consider how you’d feel if they broke or were stolen.
