This school district is located in Marinette County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from many county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.
Nearly every yard in the county that has a sign proclaiming support for Trump and/or contempt for President Biden and those who support him. FJB signs are more prevalent than the American flag in most areas of Marinette County. Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards. Woe to anyone, especially a public school teacher, that doesn't openly support Trump or who dares to openly support Biden or any Democratic candidate.
Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $43,908 to $57,279. The Goodman-Armstrong school district average teacher salary was the lowest in Marinette County at $43,908. The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was 3.3%, which was far below the rate of inflation.
This district has one of the lowest average teacher salaries in the entire state of Wisconsin, and the minimal increase of 3.3% guarantees that teachers who stay in this district will qualify for state and federal anti-poverty programs for their entire careers. We are amazed that this district is able to attract anyone to work there.
We rate the career employment potential for teachers in this district as a Dead End job.
