This school district is located in Kewaunee County, which in one of the most rabid Trump supporting Wisconsin counties. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents.

Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in this school district in this county have suffered significant salary cuts due to pay increases falling far below the inflation rate.

The Algoma school district has been a particularly difficult district to work in with open animosity from the MAGA-owned school board members towards the teachers in this community. We cannot understand how this district is able to attract or retain any teachers when much better positions are available in surrounding school districts closer to Green Bay.

The Algoma school district average teacher salary was lowest in Kewaunee County at $52,028. 

Like the majority of Kewaunee County school districts, the increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was below the rate of inflation; for this district it was 13.6%.

The Algoma school board prioritized maintaining the value of the Superintendent's pay by awarding him a 27.3% pay increase to keep up with inflation.

Based on the shoddy treatment of teachers by the school board and much of the community, especially during Covid, and the fact that the average teacher salary in Algoma is the lowest in Kewaunee County, we rate career employment potential in this district as a DEAD END job.
