Inside Story St. Croix County


St. Croix County is "Ground Zero" for MAGA Republicans in Wisconsin.  This screen shot was taken from the St. Croix Republican Party homepage a few days after the January 6 2021 armed insurrection in Washington DC. 
 As a teacher in this county, many of the school board members who control your employment and the majority of residents are avid supporters of violence against anyone that they deem a "leftist tyrant". 
Unless you are also a MAGA right wing traitorous insurrectionist, we would advise you to do your due diligence before accepting a teaching position  in any school district in this county that is filled with angry pro-Trump right wing violent traitors to America.

This school district is located in St. Croix County, where the County Republican Party acted extremely aggressively in support of the January 6th 2021 Insurrectionists. 

With the extreme pro-Trump views of the predominantly MAGA population in this county, social studies teachers have had to be very careful when teaching about the January 6th Patriots that visited the Capitol building in Washington DC, just doing "normal tourist type tours of the Capitol. 

The St. Croix County school district average teacher salary ranges from $53,795 to $64,551. 

The Baldwin-Woodville Area school district was on the high end in average teacher salaries in this County at $62,550. The increase in average teacher salary for this school district was 18.5% since 2011, which was about equal to the rate of inflation. 

With this county being located adjacent to the Minnesota border, we urge teachers considering teaching here to explore teaching vacancies just across the border in Minnesota. Successful candidates could earn starting salaries of $10-15,000 more than what teachers are now earning in Wisconsin, with far higher career salary potential.

Rating the career potential for teachers in this district is a tough call. With an over $60,000 average teacher salary that increased at approximately the inflation rate since 2011, we're going to rate career employment in this district as Might Be a Good District to Teach in.
