240 MN School Districts That Every Teacher Should Consider

A decade of Act 10 has destroyed the careers and earnings potential of teachers in 90% of school districts

in Wisconsin. Whether you are just graduating from college or have been teaching for several years, we

think that you should seriously consider leaving the failing state of Wisconsin behind and start enjoying

the much greener pastures a teaching career by re-starting your teaching career in Minnesota.

 

Since Governor Walker & the Republican Dictatorship destroyed teachers’ lives and careers, thousands of

great teachers have fled Wisconsin classrooms. Many have found happiness in school districts across

Minnesota since 2011. Obtaining a Minnesota teacher license can be difficult, but your new school district

will help you through the process.

 

Unlike Wisconsin where Republicans cut BILLIONS of dollars from public education in order to make sure

that their rich Republican donors would continue to pay no state taxes, Minnesota has continued investing

in the best public education system in America. Wisconsin teachers are part of a failing state, schools

closing across Wisconsin due to a massive exodus of young people, leading to teacher layoffs and salary

and benefit cuts. Minnesota teachers are proud to work for a state that truly values quality public

education, and treats teachers as professionals, not the enemy of the state.

 

 

Our researchers analyzed the change in Average Teacher Salaries in over 300 Minnesota public school

districts from the 2010-11 school year to the 2018-19 school year. During this time, the inflation rate,

(CPI) increased by 14.25%. Following is a list of Minnesota school districts where the average teacher

salary increased by at least 9% during this time period. Based on Average Teacher Salary growth, we think

that all of the following districts would be good places to build a teaching career.
