This district is located near the Minnesota border. The Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin continues to defund public schools while Minnesota just sent a 2 BILLION dollar funding increase to keep it's public schools #1 in America. Wisconsin is declining while Minnesota is the economic engine of the Midwest.

We strongly urge prospective teaching candidates to leave school districts like this for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts.

Politically this county votes for Democrats in statewide elections, but due to the gerrymandered electoral maps imposed by the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin, most of the state legislators elected in this area are anti-public education Republicans.

The average teacher salary in Bangor increased by 21.6%. After years of being the lowest paid district in the area, Bangor has made some significant salary improvements in the past 3 years. We're sure that some of that is due to Bangor's desire to stem the massive turnover of teachers fleeing after a year or two of work.  

Even though Bangor is making improvements to teacher compensation, it's average teacher salary is still only in the low 50,000 range.  With the high cost of living in America, we rate the career salary potential for teachers in this district as a Dead End job.
