Walworth County is filled with MAGA Trump supporters who were Standing With Walker  to trash teachers and public education from 2011 to 2018. This county has a few larger districts with good pay with the remainder of school districts being small school districts that often pay so little that many teachers qualify for state and federal anti-poverty programs.

Average teacher salaries in this county range from $48,150 to $67,095.   

The Elkhorn Area school district has one of the best average teacher salaries in Walworth County at $65,304. Since 2011, the average teacher salary increased by 18.3%, which was close to the inflation rate. Superintendent pay increased by 53.3%, which was nearly THREE TIMES the increase in average teacher salary and well above the inflation rate.

This district is one of the four Walworth County school districts that earn our ranking of Likely a Good Place to Work for having one of the higher average teacher salaries in the area AND increasing it at nearly the inflation rate since 2011.  For a teacher who eschews the far better teaching/career prospects of teaching 25 miles south in a properly funded Illinois school district, accepting a teaching position in the Elkhorn Area school district would be a good alternative.

The Republican Dictatorship that has Ruled Wisconsin Since 2011 has underfunded public schools by over 4 Billion dollars in order to provide massive tax cuts to the wealthiest individual taxpayers and big business and manufacturers by severely reducing teacher salaries & benefits.

Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?

Have All Teachers Received CPI Pay Increases the Past 2 Years?  

2023 CPI was 8.00%  

2024 CPI was 4.12%

No???

Sick of the School Board Lavishing Big Raises on the Superintendent While Screwing Teachers?

Time to Send a Message to the School Board.....

Without a Guarantee of a BIG RAISE for signing your contract for the 2024-25 SY,

Make your School District WAIT until the week of June 12th to return your contract.

All contracts due by Saturday June 15th.

This is one of over 200 Wisconsin school districts  have SCREWED teachers (50,000+) since 2011 while giving MASSIVE pay raises to the Superintendent.  

Make your District value YOUR RETURN for next year as much as they value the Superintendent. 

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
