This school district is located in Outagamie County. The majority of residents in this county are  Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker supporting his efforts to screw teachers out of 50 years of improvements to salaries and benefits. Even though Scott Walker is no longer Wisconsin's governor, residents of this county are solid MAGA Trump supporters with minimal support or appreciation for the contributions of strong public schools to the overall success of communities and businesses in their county. 

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $53,778 to $63,102.

The Appleton school district average teacher salary was 3rd highest in Outagamie County at $61,461. 

The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was only 3.6%, which was far below the rate of inflation.

This district increased Superintendent pay by 25% during the same period, placing a priority on maintaining the value of the Superintendent's salary during rising inflation. Sadly, the Appleton school board did not extend that same priority to the average teacher salary, meaning that teachers took an effective 20% pay cut during the same period, (in addition to the benefit cuts imposed by the Appleton school board)

It has been our experience that when districts increase the average teacher salaries by such minimal amounts, that the career potential for teachers in this district is essentially a DEAD END job.

$233,111

The Republican Dictatorship that has Ruled Wisconsin Since 2011 has underfunded public schools by over 4 Billion dollars in order to provide massive tax cuts to the wealthiest individual taxpayers and big business and manufacturers by severely reducing teacher salaries & benefits.

Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?

Have All Teachers Received CPI Pay Increases the Past 2 Years?

Sick of the School Board Lavishing Big Raises on the Superintendent While Screwing Teachers?

Time to Send a Message to the School Board.....

Without a Guarantee of a BIG RAISE for signing your contract for the 2024-25 SY,

Make your School District WAIT until the week of June 12th to return your contract.

All contracts due by Saturday June 15th.

This is one of over 200 Wisconsin school districts  have SCREWED teachers (50,000+) since 2011 while giving MASSIVE pay raises to the Superintendent.  

Make your District value YOUR RETURN for next year as much as they value the Superintendent. 

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
