This district is located adjacent to the Minnesota/Iowa 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. Stay out of Iowa as that state screws teachers even worse than the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin.

.For these reasons, we rate the career salary potential for this district as a Dead End job.
Like many low paying, Trump loving school districts, Boscobel targeted the majority of it's pay increase monies towards teachers in their first ten years of employment in order to retain these new hires. Our comparison of the 2021 salaries of first and ten year teachers shows that the ten year teachers basically kept up with inflation from 2011 to 2021, with a slight increase giving them a real $677 pay increase for 2021. The estimated cumulative pay increase for the decade from 2011 to 2021 is about $2000.
Due to the minimal increase in average salaries and the overall low wage structure of this district, we rate the career potential for this district to be a "dead end job". New teachers seeking employment would be well advised to bypass this district and instead make a run for the Minnesota border.
