Of the 3 small school districts in Burnett County, on the basis of salary data alone, we think that this district has the greatest potential for a teacher to earn a salary they can live on. 

The average teacher salary in this district was just under $44,000 in 2010-11.  Fourteen years later, this district has increased teacher salaries by 30% which was close to the inflation rate to bring the average teacher salary to nearly $57,000. 

With that level of increase in average teacher salary, we think that this district does not suffer from the high teacher turnover that other Burnett County districts endure.

The Superintendent received a $14,000 pay increase last year, bringing that salary up to just under $154,350. Since 2010-11, the Superintendent has received about a 37% raise to keep up with inflation. Pretty equal to the raises given to teachers.

This district is located about 25 miles from the Minnesota border. While the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin continues to defund public schools,  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. 

This district shares the same negatives of all Burnett County school districts-a local population filled with largely anti-education MAGA Trumpers who absolutely worship Trump and expect YOU to do so as well, if you want to keep your job.

This school district is located in an Ultra-MAGA Trump voting county where residents support everything that President Trump does. Dissent is not tolerated in these Ultra MAGA Wisconsin counties. 

Even though this district is probably the best place to teach in Buffalo County, we suggest teachers who are not 100% supporters of President Trump flee Republican voting school districts like this one for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts.

Estimated Average Teacher Income Loss Since 2011 From Act 10
$144,211

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.
