Salinas Union High School District

The best thing about SUHSD are its students and its hard working staff and faculty.The classrooms have supplies, equipment, paper, books, computers for all kids. That's great. My experience as a teacher was disappointing, unfortunately. The earning potential was great, but too many new teachers are fired their first year in this district. This happens in all of its schools. Even if you have an excellent evaluation, a new teacher may be fired or forced out. What makes it so bad is that SUHSD pays big recruiting bonuses, up to $10,000, to get people to come to Salinas and teach. I personally experienced this and I think the public should know. And there is something else I found out...if they don;t like you for some reason, the admins at the school will give a potential employer negative comments about your performance, even if you have good evaluations. This is the truth and these are the facts.It happened to me, so I want everone to know. It could be so much better for everyone. There are lots of good teachers there are lots of super studens, too.The schools are staffed well with cafeterias, libraries, security, everything you need. I just hope one day it gets better. They dont have to treat people so badly. It's sad, really.
