Loudoun County Public Schools Employer Reviews

Having driven a school bus part time in other districts I applied in Loudoun County upon retirement from a full time position in a professional field. While some of the training was redundent owing to past experience it is still good and generally well presented. The hours were largely what they were expected to be. What was NOT as expected was the – more... total lack of integrity and ethics at the supervisory level in the transportation department once one completed their training. General guidelines were provided but found to change on a regular basis at the whim of a supervisor. Any suggestions for possible changes to improve the way things were done or provide a savings in the operation were often met with outright hostility. Supervisors were more interested in stabbing drivers in the back than they were in working with them. There is no support for drivers when it is needed most. This is clearly demonstrated by the constant turnover in personnel and almost year round advertising seeking new drivers. The Transportation Dept. of LCPS is clearly one of the worst places in the area in which one could work and in terms of supervisory guidance, integrity and ethics is the WORST place I havce ever worked. – less

I adore my job, and it was perfect for me as I raised 3 young children. Now that I have teenagers, I am looking for a higher paying career.

I would arrive at my bus, perform a morning pretrip inspection, then I would arrive at each stop on time and pick up children. I drove about 65 elementary kids then picked up about 40 middle school children and took them to school.Then in the afternoon I would pick them up at their schools and take them home.

I will say that it is a overall a nice place to work, If your a teacher you really get the best end of the deal.

Typical day at work started with seeing the students at school clinic.
I learned clinical skills.
Manangement was good.
The coworkers were good.
The hardest part of the job was to pick up the clinic, as worked as substitute RN.
I enjoyed to work with students.

A typical day at work consist of bookkeeper, purchasing, tracking shipments, claims, payroll and preparing for the many Music Events. Such as Band, Choral, Orchestra, Jazz and Guitar District and County events throughout the school year.
Also Accounts receivables and payables, researching and fixing damaged orders.

Loudoun County Schools is home to approximately 67,000 students. Currently working in a fast paced environment where quick decision making skills are a must. In my time in Loudoun I have also developed conflict resolution skills which have allowed me create a work place of trust and affirmation.

As a substitute teacher, I received training prior to going into the classroom. I mostly perform substituting at about 2 schools. Teachers left clear lesson plans.

There is never a dull moment as a teacher. From the moment you arrive at school you are on working with students to provide to them the best education that meets their needs.
I have taught in Loudoun County 8 yrs. and have worked with the best teachers.
The hardest part is that you take your work home with you quite a bit. It is always on your mind.
My – more... team is the best part of my job. – less

Working for LCPS has been a wonderful experience. I have been given the oppurtunity to learn and expand on my knowledge and skills.

Could be a good place to work, one the right people are in power.

I thought they paid their subs well but it was hard to stay in their system every year they made the tests harder. Finally I left b/c I wanted benefits and summer pay.
