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 pleased to see that the Elk Mound school board treats teachers and the Superintendent relatively equally. During the same time period, the Superintendent received about the same pay raise as did the teachers, earning a 16.7% increase.

With the below inflation pay increases for both teachers and the Superintendent, we rate the career salary potential for this district as a Dead End job.
