This district is located about 25 miles from 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.

We were shocked at the results of our comparison between the median salaries of first and ten year teachers in 2021. While the 2021 first year median teaching salary of $45,000 was pretty average for Wisconsin, this district's median 2021 salary for a ten year veteran teacher was $47,000, or only $2000 more than what this district paid a first year teacher.

With an average pay increase of $200 per year, FAR below the inflation rate, we cannot understand how this district retains ANY teachers for more than a year or two, before fleeing to districts that value teachers' dedication and skills improvement more than $200 per year. Absolutely Shameful!!

Teaching in this district is the definition of a Dead End Job.
